BISHOP MATANO VISITS ST. LUKES
NOVEMBER 22, 2009

On November 22, 2009, Bishop Matano, Bishop of the Burlington Diocese made a visit to St. Luke's here in Fairfax. The Bishop tries to get around to each of the parishes in his Diocese and this is his second visit here. The photos in this album show him exiting after he said Mass, then at the reception down stairs. A nice lunch was prepared by the ladies of the parish and everyone had an opportunity to visit with the Bishop. He is very easy to talk with.
