Maddy singing at March for Life Teen Rally
Maddy and I are touching base (doing laundry and repacking ) after coming home from her pro-life concert in Las Vegas. Just 12 hours to collect ourselves. We are leaving at 11 for DC, where we are attending a pro-life leadership Mass this afternoon, then meeting the other performers and musicians at the Verizon Center to preparing for the Monday Teen Rally/Mass before the March for Life.Then meeting at 4:45 am tomorrow and again heading for the Verizon Center for sound checks, etc. It will be a long day. And it is VERY cold in DC.
Tripp and Jonny and Justin will be at the Mass tomorrow too - bearing the gifts to the altar. I am so looking forward to this event. Maddy is giving a small testimony and singing "How Beautiful" and "Hallelujah." It will be filmed so I will be able to share soon.

Oh Barbara,
I just saw you, Tripp and your gorgeous children bringing up the gifts (we are watching on EWTN), you looked great, all of you! God Bless you all!

Barbara, I am not sure how I missed your family bringing up the gifts this morning, but as I just was watching the re-air, I SAW YOU ALL brining up the gifts! so beautiful to see. The Mass was so moving, even over the television! I missed Maddy though, not up early enough this morning and missed the beginning of the re-air! Did you meet L'angelous? They are awesome!
