JMJ Home Christmas Outreach 2014 Thank You

Please forgive the delay in getting the information from our Jesus Mary Joseph Home gift delivery. This year I had to stay home with our newborn Gregory James, so I sent my husband Matt with the gifts. He was accompanied by our daughters, Tracey Lawrence with her daughters, Lexi Zenk, Kelly Clawson and her girls. Matt remarked, "that home is such a treasure, I wish more of the Latin Mass community could experience it and join us on the delivery next year!".
On that note, next year I hope to start the gift gathering a bit earlier and remind any of those interested on joining us to come along for a brief visit. Thank you for all your generosity and love.
