This Monday is the last session for religious education for the year and we will mark it with a celebration of the Eucharist. It’s hard to believe that the year is already coming to an end. In retrospect, it seems like we had so little time together and in many respects that is true. However, I hope and pray that I have been able to make an impact on the young people that I was privileged to teach this year. I think I will devote some time this weekend to finding a small gift that I can give to each of them that will express my hopes for them as they move on. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
