Dear Partners in Ministry,
As Michael Caine said in Noises Off: "We're there... the moment has arrived..."
Happy Triduum, everyone! Thank you so very much for all the hard work and dedication you've put into this year's celebration. We'll be on overdrive this weekend, so do get rest and take care of yourself as we go (am I saying this to you or to me?).
