Dear Katie, God bless you with success and keep you healthy in all you do. Good luck in all your endeavors. Your uncle, Father Tom Johns, talked about you and mentioned your blog at the mass I played for on Sunday at St. John Vianney's. I am an organist and soloist there. I also have a new blog. It is: fivewordsofwisdom.com Hope to hear from you! God bless, Marsha Santos
