The celebration was at Rory Dolan’s in Yonkers on Sunday June 28th – so about a week ago with well over 100 attendees. There were numerous speakers – too many to list – below are a few pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fr Fidelis Moscinski is a good friend of ours – he did one of the readings at one of my children’s baptism – but I can’t remember which child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father is a member of the CFR’s, founded by a group of Capuchins led by the late Fr. Benedict Groeschel, which makes the CFR’s both Capuchin and Franciscan. Father is nationally known Missionary to the unborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fr. Fidelis – a truly wonderful priest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
