My Father’s Anniversary…in Heaven!   2 comments

I recently received this email and couldn’t help but think of my father, whose anniversary of passing is today.  I’m lucky Joe Clair was my father. Here is one of our email exchanges from the last Father’s Day he was alive: I wrote: Dear Dad, we once had a professor who said that the kids [...]

I Praise You God…REHEARSAL!   1 comment

I was a second year teacher…   Leave a comment

Over fifteen years ago I met the Salesian Sisters for the first time in Port Chester, NY. I was in my second year teaching first grade in a Catholic school in Queens, NY. I hadn’t even heard of St. John Bosco, and here were the Sisters only about 45 minutes away! I had been discerning [...]

O Holy Night (And Gifts that are Given)   2 comments

A friend of mine sent this to me.  It is one of my favorite songs, and I especially love when Sr. Suzanne Dauwalter sings it.  Sr. Suzanne is our Provincial Economer, and her voice is simply God’s gift.  She has never been trained, but her voice has the character and quality of these women, who [...]

Italian…”italiano”   Leave a comment

I learned Italian.  It never seemed I would be able to learn a foreign language.  When I was a kid, and spoke the little bit of Spanish, I remember wondering what good the phrase, “the pen is red” would do for me in real life and how this knowledge would help me to communicate in [...]
