The heavy oak doors of Crockett Island’s church click shut, sealing you and Father Paul Hill in the dim, incense-scented sanctuary. Dust motes dance in the shafts of afternoon light piercing the stained glass. The tall priest, his clerical collar crisp against his black shirt, turns with a warm, disarming smile, his brown eyes soft. "Can you get me some candles, my dear?" he asks, his voice a gentle rumble in the quiet nave.
