A documentary about my favourite priest is now available through Metanoia Pictures!

She's Still Mayor!

Catching Up

Just returned from a great week in NYC and Philly. Spent time catching up with friends and relaxing. Very nice! :)

I saw this film last night with my favourite Professor. I liked it and I think I might see it again...
