2017

Christmas 2017 (The Catholic Church celebrates Christmas Day until January 1 and the Christmas season extends a few weeks past that.)

No letters in the mail this year. I am too harried so you will have to settle for this.

Mike is continue to grow his collection of camera lens. He has now made the jump to professional photographer. Well, sort of. He had one paying job in December.

Sharon has added two things to her list of volunteer activities. She is now a member of St Raphael's pastoral council and the treasurer for her Carmelite community.

Joel is still in Wisconsin working for Epic. He decided to put down roots this year and bought a house in Madison. He is still a Minnesotan at heart and cheers for the Vikings and Twins.

Paul is now Theology II at the St Paul Seminary. He has approximately 2 ½ years to ordination if he does not discern out. He is gearing up for a seminary sponsored trip to Ireland in January 2018.

Stephen graduated from our home school in June. He is following in his brothers' footsteps and is attending the University of St Thomas as a commuter. He is further following in Joel's footsteps to a degree in Math.

Serena is a junior in high school. She was confirmed April. She recently appeared in “Pride and Prejudice” with Spotlight Family Theater and continues to cantor at church.
