Fr Jim’s 30th anniversary celebration was sacred, joyful, and beautiful. There were many members of the LAOH and AOH present. After communion we presented Fr Jim with a personal gift in thanksgiving for his chaplaincy for our organization. We also presented him with a $1000 check for St Elizabeth’s youth.

As our highest-ranking officer in attendance, our state president, Lori Forbes, presented Fr Jim with the cards and checks. Joining her were Amy Hegarty, our division secretary, Roni Lapelle, our St Michael liaison, and Annie McEntee, the division historian. Other members attending included Joan Geoghegan, Laura Rossmoore, Helene McGann, Sissy McEntee, Diane Woods, Karen Yesolitis, and Arline Keefe.
