The summer vacation time officially comes to an end this next weekend.  Children are already in school in Oklahoma.  It was the wettest August on record, and it is starting to warm up again with today reaching close to 100 degrees.  While we always need the rain, I do want to stop mowing my yard.  My dad says that it is the latest date that we have been this green.  Our flowers and trees are so beautiful right now.  It is very peaceful and relaxing here.  Before we know it, we will be in fall and planning Thanksgiving and Christmas events. 

I want to wish you a Blessed holiday weekend.

The past few days have been cloudy and cooler in the mid-80s compared to the week prior in the low to mid-100s.  It is a wonderful break from the blast of heat.  Hopefully, we will receive some rain out of this pattern.

We had a great pilgrimage Sunday on the 22nd.  There was quite a turn out.  Thank you to everyone who helped to make it successful, including the large group that came from St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Tulsa.  It was one of the biggest pilgrimages this year.  It was very enjoyable meeting new people.

Again, thank you for coming out to see the Shrine.

Father Long has been very busy around the church working in the garden cutting down some bushes and a tree, and planting grass.  Come have a look when you can.

We want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Birthday.  Have a Safe and Fun Day.

We have been busy preparing for Holy Week. Cecilia and I will be changing the Infant several times this week. It is such a blessing to be able to serve him, the Shrine and our Shrine members. Look at our Events Calendar or bulletin to see when our services are that week. We hope you have a Blessed Easter with your family and friends
