We at St. Anthony’s Dining Room, here in the City of Saint Francis (California) were privileged to have Michael alongside us, leading and inspiring us, and taking great delight in putting out a really good meal for our poor and homeless neighbors. I choose to believe that he is already busy at work, perhaps alongside Francis and Clare, preparing and serving the Heavenly Banquet.
