I have ten cousins. My four children have nine cousins. I'm fairly certain my grandchildren will have a dozen cousins each. I can hardly wait to host Christmases for them all!.

This is the high school chapel at St. Mary’s High School, a diocesan high school in Bismarck, ND. It’s about six years old. Don’t tell me we can’t build beautifully anymore.
