To the Editor:
Thank you for the article covering the blessing of our store's new location. [RI?Catholic, “Catholic Goods Store Opens,” Oct. 30, 2008]
We'd be remiss if we didn't also recognize our predecessor, Kathy Lilla, for her many years of dedication, hard work, devotion to the Catholic faith, and evangelization that have been an inspiration for us and countless others.
Stella Maris took over only the retail operations of her "Morning Star Christian Center" after 20 years in business, but Kathy still produces excellent faith-filled educational and inspirational events that people should watch for and attend.
