**** AS it is the first time, the whole editor team is together in the same time in the same place, do not forget to make a ‘family picture’***
Congratulations to whole of the team for this particular acknowledgment. And Congratulations to John Freund CM for his ardent ministry. Thank You for being with us and for us!
Whoops! I guess we blew the family picture thing, Toma — but, without you, it would not have been complete, anyway 🙂
OOOOOhhhh!! Thank You…. 😉 Photoshop can make miracles to pictures 😉 Maybe next time… :):)
Congratulations to John, Patricia, and all who continue to make famvin.org a practical, informative and inspirational tool for all in the Vincentian-Charity family! I’m glad that your pioneering work has been recognized by St. John’s University.
