March Madness - Huge Success

Gentlemen,
Congratulations on a wonderful turnout for March Madness on Friday. The turnout was tremendous and the Mass Celebration was packed with so many fathers, that the choir loft was full and many were standing in the vestibule. The estimate was approximately 125 Dad's in attendance.
Thanks to all who participated and to Steve Plenzler for his once again superb organization of the entire day. Joe Champelli is pictured enjoying March Madness with his daughter Audrey.
Remember, our goal is to make first Fridays a day for Dads to attend mass with their children, it doesn't have to be just March. Also, for those unaware, during first Friday Mass, Fr. Al exposes the monstrance with the eucharist and the 8th grade class rotate students all day for Eucharistic Adoration. I had the great pleasure of praying for 20 minutes with my son on Friday. I was quite surprised and impressed to see how these students truly enjoy and appreciate the privelege of silent prayer. If you get a chance, I would highly encourage it for everyone.
