We hope that you join us in the celebration of our faith, our family, and our heritage as we come together to “carry-on” our tradition!

The Family Tree (Author unknown)

I think that I shall never see

the finish of a family tree.

As it forever seems to grow,

from roots that started long ago,

way back in ancient history times,

in foreign land and distant climbs.

From them grew trunk and branching limb,

that dated back to times so dim.

One seldom knows exactly when,

the parents met and married then,

nor when the twigs began to grow

with odd named children row on row...

Through verse like this is made by me,

the end’s in sight as you can see.

‘Tis not the same with family trees

that grow & grow through centuries!
