“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength” - St. Francis de Sales

If you could take anyone in history out to dinner, who would it be and where would you go?
Sts. Peter and Paul: two dynamic leaders with different responsibilities and visions who shaped the early church to create a community of believers true to the mission of Jesus Christ.  Their dynamism and sense of adventure built a solid foundation for all future church leaders.

If you woke up and were an animal, which one do you think you'd be?

Doberman Pincher: tall, strong, loyal.
