The Great O Antiphon: O Emmanuel

Sunday December 23 Beginning of Christmas Season

Andrew Usmiani and Dan Perrota, Knights of Columbus from St. Gregory Parish in Robbinsville came for a Christmas visit with Andrew's dog, Romeo. He belonged to a man from Turkey so Romeo has a passport to travel.
Also the same day, Marge and her daughter and nephew and his son came for their annual visit.
