Beautiful photo, Ray. Although I haven't been to Rifle Camp Road in many years, I fondly remember a week that two friends and me spent there back in the days when Father Al (Gorayeb), of blesed memory, was the pastor.

Many years,

Neil

The interior of the church is stunningly beautiful - may we perhaps have some pictures?

Fr. Serge

Sorry that I don't have any interior pics at this time. I took this photo a few weeks ago standing by the rectory. As to the late Fr. Al, during his wake in the church, I remember hearing him singing the "Jesus Prayer" over the sound system while was lying in state. Oh, the miracle of cassettes in those days. It was very moving. May he have eternal memory.

As soon as I get St Ann's entry posted in our directory, this photo will be gracing it.

Many years,

Neil
