I just read of the terrible accident that occurred yesterday, and of the stark tragedy that has been experienced by an area family. Please mark these young men in your prayers and, if anyone knows how we may be of assistance, please let me know. A convention at which I am merely an observer is something that is easy to skip in order to aid those in my town, regardless of whether or not they are members of our parish.

UPDATE: Many thanks to those of you who alerted me to this. As it turns out, the young man who died was also a graduate of Rumsey Hall School, where I serve as chaplain. As ever, please let any and all know that we stand by to help.
