Newspaper Columns...
Fr. Tracey began writing columns for his Diocesan Newspaper in 1976 and continues to do so in his retirement. The majority of columns were lost in Hurricane Katrina that hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast in August 2005. Columns from 2000 to the present are contained here. Hope you take the time to enjoy some them. Happy reading!
