Happy Anniversary...

April 2nd will be a long remembered day in the Universal Church: the day one of the longest, and most significant, papacy's in modern times came to an end with the death of Pope John Paul II.  This year, with the added expectation of his beatification in a month's time, even more excitement seems to be brewing than normal.

In the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, 'tis also a day of celebration, for this is the tenth anniversary of the episcopal ordination of our shepherd: Archbishop Dennis Schnurr.  What does one get for the tenth anniversary of an episcopal ordination?!?!

Congratulations, Archbishop Schnurr, ad multos annos!

The traditional gift for tenth anniversaries is tin or aluminum.

If I were him I would appreciate some aluminum encasing a malt beverage.
