The only time we were in this beautiful church was for the burial of our dear priest and friend Fr. Steve Letourneau, who was killed in a car wreck on Palm Sunday April 4, 1993.   We would go to early Mass at the Chapel and Fr. Steve would drive to another small town to offer Mass, then he would come over for Sunday dinner,  followed by a nap.
