Photos that tell how St. Bernards was before Jan 1, 2014, how it looked as a crime scene, how we coped, thanks Mark M. and Nick A.

St. Bernard's Church before Jan 1, 2014

Some of the photos I am most grateful for were taken by Mark McKenna right after the press conference on Jan 1, 2014 when immediately I started praying the rosary at the request of fellow parishioners who joined in, Mark was very respectful as he captured our genuine grief, anguish, shock. Others were taken over the next few days by Nick Adams for TS. These have been comforting to look at for the ast two years.
