Dave Novock

On behalf of Dave's family (and myself), I want to thank everyone for the kind thoughts and a special thanks to those who attended the services whether the funeral home or mass.
On my way home, listening to my iPod, I was listening to Styx and thought I'd post a few verses.
 

"...reflections in the waves sparked my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happly forever
So the story goes
Somehow we missed out on the pot of gold
But we'll try best as we can to carry on.

Thanks,
Jerry Doyle

Joe Tobin, Named Archbishop

Pope Benedict appointed Redemptorist Fr Joseph Tobin, 58, as Secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL). Joe attended Holy Redeemer Grade School, and then graduated from seminary school in Wisconsin.   He was Pastor at Redeemer from 1979-1990.  What a proud moment for the Redeemer family!
