My staff had a parishioner make this beautiful kneeler as their gift to me. I guess they think I don't pray enough!

My 90 1/2 year old mother and me!

Mama Mia!

30 years has been a nice slice of life!

I want my cake and eat it too!

Only picture I could find of my sister to my right with her back to the camera, then my friend Linda and her husband Paul:

The gift of a kneeler, I am soooooo jealous. ;-)
Perhaps we can borrow it during Communion?
Maybe your parishioners just want you to be holy, therefore the kneeler Padre. Congratulations on your 30 years. May God grant you many more!
Congratulations on your 30th Anniversary from all the gang in NJ. Great to see your mother and sister in good form too.
Many blessings on you and your ministry!
Sorry I missed it; sounds like it was a great celebration. May God continue to bless you with his abundant graces. Thank you for your generous service to the Church.
Many congratulations and prayers on the occasion of your a
nniversary, Father.
I can't believe your mother is 90 years old! She looks fantastic.
Thank you Fr Míċeál Beatty for your kind words and yes she looks and feels pretty good for her age and this is someone who lived through Nazi and American bombing of her hometown of Livrono, Italy during WWII, lived in a cave after their apartment building was destroyed and has had malaria, cancer and other maladies over the years! God bless you.
AD MULTOS ANNOS, PADRE!
