04/10/23
Beloved Members of Our Diocesan Family:
Christ is Risen! – Indeed He is Risen!
If we were to visit a grave in any cemetery in the world, we would find beneath the sod the remains of the deceased. And on the gravestone, we would find the name of the person and usually the date of the person’s birth and the date of his or her death.
– With one exception!
