  1. What fun pictures! I especially like the one with the caption "Sure having fun!". Wish I could frame it!

    My students really enjoyed the snow, too, and we're all crossing our fingers for another snow day soon!

  3. Dear John Paul,
    My husband and I retired almost six years ago and moved to South Florida.
    (Look up West Palm Beach on a map.... we live 15 minutes from the airport.)
    Since it’s always warm and usually summer-like weather here year-round, we never see snow unless we fly to Maryland to visit our family. It’s 76 degrees here today. Thanks for posting the great photos. God bless!
    Love, Mrs. Murphy Dohn

  5. John Paul, I’m so happy you got snow too! My sons played in our snow and made a giant snowball and then sledded. We still have a little bit yet. I love how you showed the fun you had in words and photos. Keep up the great blogging!

  8. I like these pictures, John Paul. My granddaughter (14 months) loved walking in it and at one point started running and gave a great shout of joy. Looks like you enjoyed it as well.

St. Louis de Montfort, Apr. 28

He later went to Rome and the pope made him a missionary. He also wrote a book called True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin . He died at Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre in 1716.

St. George the Younger, Apr. 7

Source George the Younger was a native of Mitylene and he was a rich man, but he gave his money to the poor and entered a monastery. Not long after, he was appointed bishop! When Leo the Armenian became emperor, George stood up against the persecutions, but he was exiled to Chersonese and died there in 816.

Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)

Vincent grew up a farmer's son, and he tended sheep when he was young. He wanted to be a priest, so Vincent studied, took up, and got ordained. His mission was to help the poor; he provided food and clothing for them. Tradition says that he was seized by pirates (while onboard a ship) and sold into slavery in North Africa! But he escaped (phew!) and made his way to Rome. He went back to France, and was appointed court chaplain to Queen Margaret of Valois. He is the patron saint of all charities.
