*During my trip to Southern California, I was blessed to stay at the Carmelite Sisters Retreat House in Alhambra; their kindness and generosity will long be remembered by everyone who attended the Courage Manhood Weekend; highlighted by a special song of farewell by the Carmelite postulants and novices. During my stay, I was honored to speak with my Courage brothers and then to also give a talk to the men of LASSA (Los Angeles Same-Sex Anonymous.) But, the highlight was truly the final Mass on Sunday - officiated by Fr. Paul Check (with assistance from Deacon Patrick Summerhays of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.) Blessings to everyone I met, and you will all be in my prayers.
