Inspirational Thoughts
Spring invites us for more fun and joyful times together. We look forward to the First Communion of more than 70 kids, Confirmation of 30 youths, and lots of weddings.

About 1 million youths from all over the world are expected for this big event. All in all, as the days lengthen and the sun becomes stronger, a festive summer awaits us after a somber period of high energy prices and many crises in the world. We all need some fun and inspiration from our faith and from...
