The O'Connors, Mike Lavey and Curly
Mike and Janet O’Connor and Dianne and Brian O’Connor cousins of Fr Shea from Wisconsin with 2 friends Mike Lavey and Curly spent 3 weeks at Sarnelli House spending some fun and happy times with Fr Shea, the staff and kids. St Patrick’s Day was very memorable with green beer and the traditional American / Irish corned beef and cabbage for dinner for all. The children at Sarnelli House now have new bedsheets and pillow cases on their beds, a new washing machine and new floating toys and rings for the pool. Thanks everyone for your generosity.
