This was Driscoll's first Catholic Church....we went to church here every week.  It is sad to see it in such bad shape.   Maybe Driscoll should think of restoring it.....alot of memories here.

 

Driscoll's second Catholic Church, it is built right next to the old one.  This is not an event center.

The third Catholic Church.   It just opened in March of this year.  It is very simple but nice.

We had a wonderful time at this family reunion.
