A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD  
February 20, 2018
Life has its own way of making us hold on, even when we want to give up and lose hope..

Life is never without problem, difficulty, hurtful moments, and struggle,
but never without GOD to lean on.

GOD's blessings may come as a surprise.

How much you receive depends on how much your heart believes.

God blesses you!
-Fr. Arnold
