Talk about the hope of the future?

They and their young parents are it.


Just ask Mr. Justin Hidalgo's proud mom....


Just ask Mr. Justin Hidalgo's proud mom. When certain people were becoming "no shows" this past Saturday evening, her son Justin jumped up and did his duty, thereby helping Father Pius and Deacon Jimmy Bader.

As we shared with her a while back this morning while dozens of us were waiting in line -- yours truly to send a copy of The Brackett News to some street - wise Roman reporters -- let's just call them Alberta and Angela -- "Such good people are indeed the wave of the future!"

And yes! Such young people as Justin reflect well on his mom and the whole family.
