Yes. Thank you very much for your time, Lucrezia.

I look forward to seeing you soon. At St. Vincent's.

St. Vincent's? Is that the name?

It is, yes. And you are welcome any time.

St. Vincent de Paul—the patron saint of charity. It is quite fitting.

You are precisely right. It felt appropriate considering how much is needed in the Down and all we wish to do.

I am confident God and his saints will be guiding us.

I will do that. Please take care.

And you as well. Thank you, Jeanne, for your help.
