We would like to thank all of those who helped to make Totus Tuus a success last week. Thank you to the host families, those who provided meals, and the adults and teens who chaperoned and assisted the missionaries. We would like to say a huge thank you to our own Louise Hickey, who has spent countless hours preparing for and participating in the week. She is a true gift to the children and youth of our parish!
