1898 Artifact

This "reporter"  has been traveling and with that and other obligations,   has fallen behind in posting the weekly news.    Easter is early this year and Holy Week is already upon us.   This is a very busy week at St. Gabriel's with Tennebrae on Wednesday and services Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  

To fill the huge void that must have been left by the absence of weekly news, we are going to jump ahead 10 years and and share something for you to ponder.
