Dear Parishioners, During the past few weeks, over one hundred and thirty children have received the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time. I want to give special thanks to Sister Mary O’Donnell and to the teachers of the children in the school and in the Religious Education program who have helped the parents of the children in the children's formation as Christians. We have almost reached our goal for the Annual Appeal of the Archdiocese. I want to thank all those who have been so generous. For me, there are two special ministries of special importance that are helped by your generosity. One is aid to inner-city schools and the other is help for retired priests. I think that these causes, along with the many others that are helped, make our sacrifices worthwhile. Any money that is given above our assessment will come back to the Parish. We will use it to help renovate the wall of the Sanctuary. The plan calls for the placement of eight windows to bring natural light into the space and to visually enhance the areas to the sides of the marble. Sincerely, |
