From the Pastor:

My Dear People,

I give praise and thanks to our Lord and His Blessed Mother for your strong presence during our most affective Parish Mission. I know from the wonderful attendance every morning and evening, so many of you were uplifted and encouraged. Like our recent Holy Father’s visit to the United States, Father Joseph made us feel good about ourselves as a Catholic family. His clear explanation of our faith once again brought to light how truly interconnected dogma and morality are. Father Joseph is to be commended for his clarity of thought and definity of presentation.

To our music ministry conducted by Joan Kozlowski and assisted by Karl Heck, I am most grateful. Both the Parish Mission and the outstanding 85th Anniversary Concert showed a quality of excellence that is only achieved by hard work and love for Christ and His Blessed Mother.

I now look forward to our Pontifical Mass of Thanksgiving on May 18th at 12 Noon, celebrated by His Excellency, the Most Rev. Bishop Joseph McFadden. Once again, we give thanks to God for all His Blessings to us during 85 years of faith and service. It’s not too late to be a part of this wonderful celebration. Don’t say “I should have been there” — Be there!

In John 15:16 we read “I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit”. Let us continue to be productive as well as reflective people of our Catholic Faith. To everyone involved, thank you and keep up the good work.

Gratefully,
