Funeral for a marine
When the order that my brother belongs to was trying to find a place for him to spend his deaconite summer, the one thing Bill was really hoping for was someplace where he would experience the full range of the sacraments that occur in a parish (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick, and Marriage), and the full experience of being part of an active parish. He got it in spades. He chose the parish that he's at because he's good friends with Fr Anderson, and had worked with some of the groups there. Last week they got the word that one of their parishoners was killed in combat, and yesterday and today are the viewing and the funeral for a popular kid from a small town. If you're of a religious bent, please say a few prayers for the marine's family and friends, and for Fr Anderson that he has the words of comfort that would be helpful to those who need it.
