From the Rector
Yesterday's Memorial Service for Mary-Kathleen Blanchard was a testimonial to the many lives she has touched.  Let me express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the day so special.  I have never experienced a congregation come together and host such a glorious event.

I cannot begin to name all those who gave of themselves to make the Service and reception a fitting tribute to someone who was so special to the life of Saint Paul's.

Thank you, MK, for sharing your life with us and thank you to all who made yesterday a special and meaningful time to give thanks and celebrate that life.
