This week Amber and Jeff got to hang out with Fr. Robert, Fr. Labosky, with special guest appearances by Zoe, Bolli, and Queso (and Annie, Cap, and Chewie in spirit). We talk about our dogs past and present, how they've become intertwined in our lives and the lessons they teach about dependence and unconditional love.
Congratulations to our Mickey McGrath book drawing winner Diane Arsenault! Big thanks to Diane and the over 40 folks who have signed up to help out with our celebration on August 26th. It's not too late to sign up to help. We especially need more hands for setting up (that morning at 9am) and cleaning up after both outside and in the kitchen. Click here to sign up to help!

Next week we'll here from Lloyd Smeidler and Jason Blanton from Bread for the World about their organization that is working to end hunger in the world, and how we can directly and easily contribute to their effort right here at Holy Infant. And, Michalene is back from her globe trotting!
