In building of a parish, faith comes first

in the building of a parish faith comes first
Kirsten Thorpe
in the building of a holiday
in the building of new subdivisions
in the building of high spirits
and the building of morale
in the building of ourselves
in the building of a family
or a flock
in the building of a building
in the building of a faith
