Many thanks to you all who have o ered prayers and condolences to me on the occasion of my mother’s death on July 7. She had many times come to Masses here at St. Brendan’s and St. Ann’s and would pray for your inten-tions. Our family is saddened that she has passed on into Eternal Life so suddenly after a being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a li le over a year ago. But it is our faith in the risen Lord that gave life to all her actions and assures us that she is at peace. May eternal light shine upon my Mom. Peace, Fr. Brian
