Glad to see Archbishop Nathaniel made it out to Fr. Lucian’s parish in Calgary. Sounds like a good visit—nice to hear him thank the priest directly for all the steady work he puts in out there. Our little garden plot here in Denver could use some of that Alberta hospitality this summer.

Yeah, Fr. Lucian’s been holding that parish together for years with quiet steady effort. Our garden in Dallas is mostly tomatoes this summer too — hope the Alberta crew sends some rain our way. Did you catch any of the service online?
