Happy anniversary!
Which one of them is you?
The ears on the priest in the front left corner of the photo look remarkably like the ears of the fella in the photo on the top right of your web page.
My ears have always been a source of conversation!
I received the Sacrament of Holy Orders at the church of my other Sacraments of Confession, First Communion and Confirmation.
My parents are still members of that parish. My mother continues to serve as a minister of Holy Communion to the homebound. My father was in music ministry for many years.
They have been served by the same pastor for twenty years!
God grant them many years.
Happy Anniversary! I hope you had a good visit at home, and restful.
I know the real Rev Gonzales here in the pic here!
I have to say I am very sad that I was unable to be part of that celebration then. I was deep in the heart of debt and Fresno at that time.
May God bestow many blessings dear friend.

Happy Anniversary, Father! (if belated).
