Los Angeles Schulanfangsmesse
Forwarded

We've all heard it from our parents and grandparents, "what you
learn, no one can take away". That's why St. Stephen's
Schulanfangsmesse is important. And to emphasize that, Father Timothy
made a special point of saying the Mass himself. Although he's got his
hands full shepherding over both St. Patricks and St. Stephens, he
knew how important this Mass was for the children. It was evident in
his sermon; a special one just for the children. His message was on
forgiveness and ice cream! He asked them, "how much should we
forgive; a little or a lot"? His answer; forgive as much as you
would fill your ice cream ladle. Father Timothy brought his ladle as
an example. Good advice. For pictures of the Mass, please

Oh, and a special thank you goes to the Kirchenchor who turned out and
never sounded better!
