I'm glad to see such a nice write-up about this. I work with Fr George at St Joseph of the Forest and at the VFW when he prays Mass there, and I find him to be a holy priest, absolutely devoted to his beliefs. He has told us that about 17 men in his family are priests and many more of the women in his family are nuns! I hope we can learn more about this family.
Thanks for your comments! There will be more stories to come!
Thank God that someone like Jannet has let us know this great news. We have a saint graces just next to our door and we didn't know.
