I am very fond of your Archbishop and pray for him in my monthly cycle of prayers for bishops. He is not very well known beyond Atlanta it seems. But nonetheless I pray for him.

I also keep you and your family's entrance into the Catholic Church in my prayers.

Thank you. We truly appreciate your prayers, this is a big change for us after 23 years . . .

But things are going along swimmingly. We've been attending the same parish for about a month now. I'm singing in the choir - much to my amazement (1) same hymns I sang in my old church - only one "wings of eagles" type hymn snuck in and I can live with that now and then (2) TWO anthems I have sung before just in one month (both English) and more to come. We meet with Monsignor next week for a more formal introduction and to go over what he requires for fledglings . . . :-D

Am glad you like our Archbishop. He seems like a good, faithful, no-nonsense cleric to me.
