2 Comments:
A virtual treasury of Mr. Shenk's last articles for Assumption Grotto can be found on the parish Web site. They are models of clarity, brevity, and, most of all, thinking with the Church.
Lux aeternam luceat ei, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
CanticaNova has posted a lovely tribute to Cal on the main page.
