Inspirational thoughts

TKC!I will be heading out to the Virginia mountains for a few weeks of vacation with my brother priests and seminarians…plenty of time for hikes, mountain running, swimming and more importantly quality prayer time and real bonding with my band of Legionary brothers here in DC.  A special thanks to the two host families that are opening up their summer homes to make this happen…grateful to them and grateful to God for allowing us to have this time away.  My service will resume on August 15th. God bless you,Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
