Rev Akin…just to let you know when you read my comments that some of my fellow Catholics tell me are over the edge & disrespectful of our Church please know we the pew dwellers are usually left in the DARK… here in the Arch Diocese of Galveston Houston what we know about Church current events we read in the Houston Chronicle…It seems our Cardinal Arch Bishop and Parish Priest just don’t think we neeed to know….If it were’t for thousands and thousands of Illegal Immigrants this would be s Shrinking Diocese!
