As soon as we entered the church, we noticed the wonderfully pungent smell of fresh flowers. As we got closer to the alter, we could see the beautiful arrangement of various flowers positioned from one side of the alter to the other.
The smell and beauty of the flowers caused me to perk-up and take a more closer look at the beautiful Catholic Church we have right here in our little town.

Yesterday was the start of Spring Gobbler Hunting Season and there was a large attendance at the 4:30 PM mass. We are genuinely pleased when visitors join us for mass. In fact, we look forward to those special occasions such as hunting and fishing season, or, summer vacations, when the campers return to our area and we get to see them once again.
Note: Angie and I recently visited America's First Parish founded on September 8, 1565 in Saint Augustine Florida. (
