St. Fiacre
Patron Saint of Gardeners - presentation July 22, 2001
Karol and Larry Rawlins, with their newly presented statue of St. Fiacre
"We want to thank you for the long hours, days and weeks you spent painting the rectory, for turning St. Paul's yard into a beautiful garden that once again this year won "Gainesville Yard of the Month." We know Karol is a Master Gardener and felt she should have an appropriate saint -- St. Fiacre., the Patron Saint of Gardeners." -- Padré †
Joe and Susie celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary July 8, 2001. Congratulations!
