Happy Retirement

When our much-loved priest announced his retirement late last year, it was quite a shock to all of us.  Father Sam has done a wonderful job and he will be greatly missed.  After a lifetime of dedicated service, I thought that images of beautiful rising balloons would be a happy send-off . . .

Glossy Accents were used to intensify the colors and add dimension to the hot air balloons.  Up, up, and away!  But we're hoping not too far away . . .
