Yup, as the heading reads... today we went to church. Not just any old church mind you... We woke up this morning and made our way over to the Most Holy Trinity Church on North 7
th Street. In 1957, my late grandfathers brother, Monsignor Neil
McHugh, built the church along with a rectory and the Most Holy Trinity Catholic School. Considering Fr
Neily (as he was known to his family and friends) was a priest, I don't think he actually put brick on brick. But he was
definitely the driving force behind the project. The community hall that is part of the complex is named after him. I have only vague memories of Fr
Neily, because he lived in Phoenix and died more than a decade ago. I have to say though, it was really nice visiting the place. The current priest, Fr Bob
Skagen, was more than delighted to meet us. He even offered to treat us to lunch in his favourite Greek restaurant. He was a very nice man, and we had a good old chin wag with the him, but we graciously turned him down. We spent the rest of the day driving around Phoenix looking for a place to buy tickets for AC/DC. We want to go see them in Inglewood California on December 8
th. Unfortunately, every
Ticketmaster outlet we went to had a different reason why we couldn't buy them there. (we want to see them in a different state for one). We're not beat yet though, it's two weeks from today and we'll find a way. We're leaving Phoenix tomorrow, and once again we're heading south for the border. This time we're going to a town called Yuma, where we intend to celebrate Thanksgiving. Well, we won't really be celebrating because we don't know much about it. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with turkeys and Indians. I'd say we'll probably just have a couple of beers...
