Father Fred's Retirement

Father Fred has officially retired. There was a big party for him last weekend. He told several people he had prepared us for marriage, and asked married couples to give us advise. My personal favorite bit of advise was from some of Father Fred's friends from The Canterbury - The Canterbury is the diner we had several of our meetings at. The husband's advise was of course in the form of a joke...

"After 54 years of marriage I still get the last word in an argument... Yes Dear!"

There is a replacement for Father Fred. We were worried that they would not name a replacement and might even close the church. Even though we had another church reserved for a back up, we are glad/relived/excited that St. Clare will remain open. Today was Father Greg Tokarski's first day on the job. After he gets settled in Thom and I will meet with him to introduce our selves... maybe we should take him to the Canterbury :)
