After a snow jinxed start to the CYO Basketball Championships and rescheduling of 3rd and 4th grade championships, I think we are ready to make it happen today as we hand out the heavy hardware this afternoon and evening!

Stay tuned for 3rd, 5th & 6th championships today.  Next week we will have 4th, 7th & 8th championships!

A spectacular backdrop of tall Douglas Firs, showcase the new construction at Camp Howard this winter.  The framing is almost complete as you can see and soon we will have a cover over the top and workers will be able to get out of the rain!  The new “Mary’s Lodge” will be the camp dining hall and a gathering place.  Classes will be held in the large dining hall around meals and the spacious outdoor deck will give additional space for small and large group gatherings! #sistersblog, #cyocamphoward

A Salute to Billy Graham

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, I remember Sunday mornings before Mass in Grass Valley, OR., catching glimpses of Billy Graham on TV.  I remember my Mom’s appreciation for him over the years and I admired him as well.  He was different from a lot of TV preachers and that “difference” earned him the label of “America’s Pastor”.

I agree with the strong sentiment that we were blessed to live during the time of such a special, God loving man who had a unique method of delivering God’s Word.

I recommend you read his obituary, it is an excellent read and very inspirational!
