the two gentlemen who stepped in to carry the
canopy when two of the firemen had to leave for a
fire call), the men and women who cooked and
served appetizers and the dinner, those who baked
desserts, our sacristan who prepared the Altar
linens, CCD students and parents who attended,
organist and choir, those who participated in the
