Today June 6th Father Carroll celebrates a double blessing his 33rd Birthday and his 5th anniversary of his priestly ordination.  Father Carroll celebrated his birthday with celebrating the 8am Mass at Saint Mary's, the 8:30am Mass with the School Children of Saint Patrick and will be hearing confession from Noon - 1pm.  As Father C. said in his facebook post this morning "No better way to celebrate my birthday then by exercising the awesome gift I received 5 years ago today."
