I won my game today! 19-8

Hey. I won my game today! 19-8 That's the most points we've ever scored. We played St. Gabriel. There our rival in football. This game was the best game I've had this season. I scored 2 points in this game and almost made one but it went out of the basket. I couldn't think of what to write so this is all I could really put.

Maria's First Confession

Maria's First Reconciliation

Maria makes her first Confession

A few weeks ago my daughter Maria hit a milestone, her first Confession. This is the beginning of her experience of God's merciful love, healing and forgiveness conveyed in this Holy Sacrament of Reconciliation. She celebrated this Sacrament with her family, classmates and their families. Fr. Ireland, pastor of St. Gregory the Great gave a wonderful explanation of this Sacrament and especially encouraged us parents to avail this awesome gift and set a living example of going to Confession as a family on a regular basis. Afterwards we took Maria to "Eat at Joe's" for a great breakfast to accompany a great day!


My own experience of this Sacrament has been one of healing, strength, God's loving forgiveness and freedom to follow Jesus with new vigor and love. I now look forward to bringing my daughter to Confession with me. It has been a joy to do so with my son Michael. Thank you Jesus for giving us this awesome opportunity to experience your healing love and forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. I will leave you with the words of Jesus in his Gospel according to St. John chapter 20 Verses 21-23;

"Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."

Lake Erie Monsters Game

Today was very busy with sports. Michael had a basketball game and won. After his game we went downtown for a cub scout event at the Quickens Loan Stadium for a Lake Eire Monsters game. This was our first Ice Hockey game and it was energizing and cool. The Monsters won 3-1 against the Hamilton bulldogs from Canada. This was a whole new experience for us and I wanted to share it on our blog.

It's on...
