New text for the baptism of children

The bishops of the United States at their November, 2017, conference in Baltimore approved a revised translation of the baptismal rite for children, with a vote of 200 in favor, 23 against, and 3 abstentions. Please note that this is not the final step in the process of approval and implementation.

Murder most tragic

Terrible news, that Deacon Patrick Logsdon was murdered November 3, 2017, at Anthony House, where for many years (decades?) he cared for and supervised men who needed help to return to the ordinary world. Newsday has the beginnings of a report.

For years, we have helped and lauded this particular work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul here in Nassau County. I think others founded the work, staffed it, and he continued in their footsteps.

This is a grievous loss.
