We Have a New Pope!
+JMJ
Dear family,
I wasn’t going to say anything publicly.
Truly, I didn’t feel worthy to weigh in.
But I’ve been asked all day for my thoughts...and I’m humbled that anyone would care what I think.
So here it is.
As many of you know, I am a very traditional, conservative Catholic.
I love the Church deeply, fiercely, and reverently...and like many of you, I did not expect this.
When the name Pope Leo XIV was announced, I felt a mix of emotions—surprise, uncertainty, hope, and a healthy dose of caution.
The wounds from years of confusion in our beloved Church haven’t fully healed.
I’ve watched with sorrow as truths have been muddied and reverence diminished.
Still, I quickly did what I’ve always done in moments like this...I prayed.
Then I began learning as much as I could about him.
I’m still learning.
He has been quiet on many of the most troubling matters.
But there are glimpses—gentle but meaningful—that he may understand what’s at stake.
I don’t know what the future holds.
But I do know this...obedience to the Church isn’t about agreement..it’s about trust.
Not blind trust in men, but holy trust in God, who never abandons His Bride.
So I will pray.
Fervently.
Lovingly.
And I invite you to join me 
Sending our love and prayers to our remnant family...Wendy, Walt and the entire Cukierski family

Here is a post, from a recipient of what we do,.
L**** and I were one of the precipitants of This mission. She is right. My parking was 9 per day for 3 months. Then on top of that food cost me approximately 15 per day. That was cheap - I got vouchers for $5.00 per meal. So somedays I did not eat or made meals last for more then one meal. Had to. Parking was $810. Food was $1,300. Then you have normal household bills and I have 3 animals I had to pay to have people come and take care of them. At first I had my dog in the Kennel for 1/2 the time. That was about 500. It is VERY expensive to have a sick child. That was Just ONE hospital stay. We have had numerous ones. Some only a few days, some a week or two. Without their help we would of gone fully under!
From providing necessary funds to actually having families stay with us...we DO what we say we do!
