Dear Parishioners,   It is Grandparents Day, and we acknowledge how important grandparents are in the life of the family.  I grew up with my grandmothers living with us.  After my maternal grandmother died when I was in the sixth grade, my paternal grandmother moved in until she passed away when I was in my first year in college.  Both grandfathers were deceased before I was born so I never knew them.  My grandmothers had a huge impact in my life, most especially as I watched my parents sacrifice to care for them as they aged.  I think that is why I am so impressed when I see parishioners remain faithful to their parents even at great personal sacrifice.  It is a true witness to the fourth commandment.  Many grandparents are committed to the faith of their grandchildren.
