| FR. RICH TOOHEY: PREPARING THE WAY |
| | CELEBRATING TEN YEARS
OUR FIRST PRESENCE FOR CHRISTMAS took place December 2009 in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was our first regional use of the "Burning Bush." We brought it to Toledo in 2013. Thousands have been blessed by this "great adventure deeper into the heart of Christ's Mass." CLICK to view a particularly impactful message from Fr. Rich Toohey at a Presence for Christmas in 2011.
A neat connection: A dynamic, young priest preached at Fr. Rich Toohey's first mass in Erie, Pennsylvania. Many now know him as Bishop Daniel Thomas.
