6 February 1994 – 4 February 2001, last Sunday of the month. I invited my good and faithful cousin and friend Renee A. Reina to co-moderate ‘From the Pew’. We interviewed 77 guests taping from the pew in the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Lake Charles, LA! A number of local vocalists and instrumentalists were invited to perform for the musical interlude. Beautiful spiritual work indeed! I am forever grateful to this dear one who co-works my various ministries! She is the Detail Process Person and I am the Creative Network Resource Person!!
