Shuffle Saturday: Save St. Patrick's Church

This past Tuesday, I ventured back with my boys to Glidden to visit St. Patrick's Church on Cedar. It is at risk of being demolished. While it isn't an active parish, they still occasionally have Mass there. And my dad always makes sure to sing at Mass, even if it means he has to schedule a day off of work. It's that important to our family.

Why? Because it's where our ancestors worshiped. It's where our ancestors are buried. It's our roots.

It's a beautiful Church, isn't it?

And it was great to see my boys, Sean and Liam, exploring the grave site of his Great Great Great Grandfather Michael, who came from Ireland.

It almost looks like Liam is praying, doesn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

My boys have learned a lot about saving history. They've learned a lot about their past. They know they're Catholic. They know they come from a farm family. They love their Irish heritage and they love St. Patrick's Church.

If you're interested in helping the cause, please feel free to sign the petition to Save St. Patrick's Church. Thank you!!
