There’s a little guy living somewhere at St. Mary’s Parish who you may see around the church. He moved in during covid time and has made himself right at home. His name is Albert T. Finneginaginagin, a rousing good natured-good neighbour who wants to do God's work in his own special way. 

You can watch all of Albert's misadventures and find out what he's been up to this year.
