Wonderful parish potluck in this feast of the Three Kings. We were graced also with the presence of the Habsburg family of the House of Austria (Archduchess Francesca and her son, Archduke Ferdinand Habsburg Lothringen). Thanks to all the parishioners who brought such wonderful food!

St. Philip Neri is the Patron Saint of Joy! He used to say, “my dear sons! be joyful, be joyful, be joyful! I do not want you to sin, but BE HAPPY !”
