Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Taking a week break. Back next week. Here is a piece from Richard Rohr. . .

An excellent poem by Imelda May entitled, You Don't Get to be Racist and Irish. Thank you to the Sacred Ground group for passing this along. . .
Going Deeper
The following is a recording of the recent Building One Community Colloquium: Immigration Today: From the Border, to D.C., to Fairfield County. Parishioner and Immigration Lawyer, Doug Penn, moderated the discussion with Allen Orr and Lucas Codognolla. The beginning of the video is news about B1C from E.D. Anka Badurina. The discussion begins at 14:55. It is well worth viewing.
