The Acolytes, many of whom had visited Jim during his illness, initiated a beautiful glass plaque in gratitude for Jim’s work among them these decades. Master glass maker Stephen Schlanser had completed the plaque, and showed the plaque to Jim on the day of his passing.

 

The plaque will be blessed and dedicated at the 10am Sunday liturgy August 16th.
