Episode Fourteen
"In The Company of Characters"
In Episode Fourteen we will introduce you to four serious characters with real character.
You will meet Monsignor James Edward Callaghan (our Uncle Jim), Fr. Patrick Cornelius Callaghan (our Uncle Chuddy), Ann O’Brien (our "Great" Aunt Ann) and Frances Marion Brown (Franny).
You will hear our Uncle Chuddy regale you with song. Franny Brown will captivate you with her narration of a classic Christmas Story.
And our Father's Choir will perform a Christmas medley that we hope will sustain your Christmas spirit!
