R.I.P. FR. MCGROARTY
On this day in 1616, literary giants William Shakespeare & Miguel de Cervantes both died. It was not on exactly the same day though, but it is recorded as such because of the difference in England's & Spain's calendars during their era. The weather lately has been very bad. There has been an icy cold rainstorm around here ever since early last evening. Last week I got my very first ever ticket for a moving violation. It was on Tenth Street in Wyoming. The library & Methodist church next door will be having another book sale. They have some very good prices on some very good books. Uncle Frankie came over for a while yesterday to have supper with us. The Carmelite meeting went well this past Saturday morning in Wilkes~Barre. We have them every third Saturday of the month at 9:00 a.m. at the Little Flower Manor. While I was there my parents went out for some Chinese food with Fran & Uncle Frankie. Unfortunately Fr. McGroarty from St. John the Evangelist Church in Pittston died last week at about ninety~four years of age. I went to his wake on Thursday afternoon. There was also a Mass of Transferral on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. & a funeral Mass on Friday at 11:00 a.m. I used to see him at St. John's quite frequently for Mass & confession.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
This past Saturday morning I went to the monthly Carmelite meeting in Wilkes_Barre. Seven people showed up. After the meeting Sr. Mary Robert opened up the gift shop for us. I promised Barbara that I shall be going back to Middletown, N.Y. again on July 10 for another day of recollection. Now I know exactly how to get there really easily. Father's Day went really well this past Sunday. My parents & I went out with Uncle Frankie & Fran. We went to a Chinese restaurant in one of the malls in Wilkes_Barre. It's one of those all-you-can-eat places & we all really overdid it. I've never really liked Chinese food but nobody ever bothers to listen to me. After we left Uncle Frankie, Fran & my mother went to Wegmann's for a while. My father & I went straight home. Mary Anne & the kids all called up to say happy Father's Day. I got a very violent headache at night after I went to bed. I lectored at 5:00 Mass on Saturday. Starting on July 7, Fr. Leo McKernan will be our new pastor. As of November we shall even have a new name for the parish. From then on it will be named St. Monica's. Yesterday was cousin Larry's birthday so I made sure I sent him a happy birthday e mail. The July 4 weekend is coming up very soon so many of my relatives will be getting ready for a big time. It's the fiftieth anniversary this year.
