I am in the hopes that I am accepted in the position as custodian at Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

As a devout Catholic that has come back to my roots in recent years, due to researching the church fathers and listening to many Catholic apologists on line, the ad for the custodian job caught my attention in different ways. Might sound corny, but my elementary school from 4th grade to 8th was Our Lady of Lourdes in Tujunga Ca.. My brother and sister were in the grades right behind me. My grandmother also worked in may parishes as the live in lady who cooked for the priests, washed and ironed their clothes and robes, including San Juan Capistrano mission etc.. I will be 70 in October, but I am still fit and capable for the job performance. So God willing I may be accepted, and if not, then that is meant to be as well. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
