"TAPS," Tragedy Assistance Program For Survivors, 22nd Annual National Military Survivor Seminar: A Weekend With America's Finest....Being Their Finest!

This was my second year to attend and present at TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar held during the Memorial Day Weekend in our nation's capital.  Each year for the past 22 years, TAPS families have come together for a time of connection, reflection, and inspiration.  It is a safe place-a place to share stories, personal thoughts, and memories that are only found among those who know this journey.

St. Rose of Lima Women's Club

St. Rose of Lima Women's Club, Newtown, Connecticut, orchestrates its meetings and gala events at Holy Innocents Hall on the grounds of St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church.  Holy Innocents Hall is a beautiful structure, much like the members themselves of St. Rose of Lima Women's Club.

Celebrations To Guide Us On Our Way

Springtime seems to bring along many celebrations that guide us on our ways to new beginnings.  Saturday, April 30, 2016 was no exception!  I celebrated The Sacrament of Confirmation at Saint Rita Church, Alexandria, Virginia, with His Excellency Timothy Broglio, Archbishop for the Military Services, Celebrating Priests, Father Daniel Gee, Father Vincent Bork, Father John Melmer, The Confirmation Candidates, and their friends and families.
