 20th anniversary celebration
Bishop Emeritus Walter Sullivan and Pat Marlar, first pastoral coordinator of Resurrection parish in Moneta and current parishioner, celebrate the 20th anniversary of the dedication of the church held on Nov. 7. After the Mass of Thanksgiving, Bishop Sullivan and Ms. Marlar were honored at a banquet for their many contributions to the birth and life of the parish.
Books given to St. Anne’s students
Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, a notable author of children’s books, recently made presentations of her newest books to the students of St. Anne School in Bristol. Ms. Bradley, who has lived in Bristol since 1996, has authored 14 books to include 8 novels, 3 picture books, and 3 beginning science books.
Her first novel, “Ruthie’s Gift,” was published in 1998 and won a Publishers’ Weekly “Flying Start” Award. Ms. Bradley’s latest picture book, “Perfect Pony,” is the story of a young girl’s search for the right pony. Ms. Bradley’s two children are students at St. Anne School.
 Flags for unborn
Members of the Columbian Squires of Frank J. Parater Circle 5069, of St. Benedict Church, Richmond, sit on a wall by the 3,000 Flags for the Unborn they placed on the lawn of the church in support of the recent 40 Days for Life campaign. The 3,000 flags, in pink and blue to represent girls and boys, reflect the average number of babies killed by abortion each year in the Richmond area. “One person who watched the boys placing the flags said it’s one thing to read a number, but it’s another to see the sea of flags that each represents a human life,” said K. Ruppert Beirne, Chief Counsellor of the Squires.
