Dear family,
I wasn’t going to say anything publicly.
Truly, I didn’t feel worthy to weigh in.
But I’ve been asked all day for my thoughts...and I’m humbled that anyone would care what I think.
So here it is.
As many of you know, I am a very traditional, conservative Catholic.
I love the Church deeply, fiercely, and reverently...and like many of you, I did not expect this.
When the name Pope Leo XIV was announced, I felt a mix of emotions—surprise, uncertainty, hope, and a healthy dose of caution.
The wounds from years of confusion in our beloved Church haven’t fully healed.
I’ve watched with sorrow as truths have been muddied and reverence diminished.
Still, I quickly did what I’ve always done in moments like this...I prayed.
Then I began learning as much as I could about him.
I’m still learning.
He has been quiet on many of the most troubling matters.
But there are glimpses—gentle but meaningful—that he may understand what’s at stake.
I don’t know what the future holds.
But I do know this...obedience to the Church isn’t about agreement..it’s about trust.
Not blind trust in men, but holy trust in God, who never abandons His Bride.
So I will pray.
Fervently.
Lovingly.
And I invite you to join me 
Sending our love and prayers to our remnant family...Wendy, Walt and the entire Cukierski family

We do what we say we do!I am begging for your help with The Pediatric Giving Mission.
---HELP IF YOU CAN----
Here is a post, from a recipient of what we do,.
L**** and I were one of the precipitants of This mission. She is right. My parking was 9 per day for 3 months. Then on top of that food cost me approximately 15 per day. That was cheap - I got vouchers for $5.00 per meal. So somedays I did not eat or made meals last for more then one meal. Had to. Parking was $810. Food was $1,300. Then you have normal household bills and I have 3 animals I had to pay to have people come and take care of them. At first I had my dog in the Kennel for 1/2 the time. That was about 500. It is VERY expensive to have a sick child. That was Just ONE hospital stay. We have had numerous ones. Some only a few days, some a week or two. Without their help we would of gone fully under!
From providing necessary funds to actually having families stay with us...we DO what we say we do!
