"The staff of the ECL apologizes for the recent lapse in production and plans to resume production on a monthly basis beginning with the November issue. Some members of the staff had family situations to address, which required their immediate attention. The ECL can now return to its previous production schedule and the copy deadline for the November issue is Friday, October 21. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding." Fr Jim B.
