Help Haiti

As you may already know, the good people of Massachusetts, from a previous St. Boniface parish, set up the St. Boniface Haiti Foundation, which is mentioned in our Links section at www.stbonifaceonline.com. This charity has a four-star rating at Charity Navigator, which grades charitable organization on things like use of funds, etc.

Please help them if you can, especially in light of the recent earthquake. If you would like to contribute to their organization, check out their website.

We've been Waymarked!

It's not much but here's the information I've found recently. Due to some connection issues with Internet Explorer, I was not able to contact the person who set up this waymark to get more details on how he ended up there. (If you're reading this, I'd be interested in hearing your story!)

Waymarking is another form of geocaching, which spotlights interesting places in the world through the use of GPS locators.

Fr. Rico Garavaglia

This obituary was posted today. Fr. Rico was pastor of St. Boniface from 1986-1989. Father was a bright and demonstrative fellow from the Hill who brought his family along with him, and his father and his uncle did a great many chores around St. Boniface.

According to a separate note in the Post-Dispatch, Father Rico apparently died of a heart attack.

Our condolences to Robert and Rosemary, his siblings and his niece Mary and nephew Robert.
