WELCOME
Dear Parishioners,
Greetings and may God's peace be with you.
As I begin my ministry as Pastor for the city, I know that this is a time of high emotion for all of us. Grief, anxiety, fear and anticipation are just a few of the emotions we are all experiencing. That said, we begin this journey together on common ground. The one thing that we have to rely on is our faith in the Lord and His nourishing and strengthening presence in the Eucharist. Life may change, but God, the Eucharist, doesn't change and on this we must rely and trust that God is with us always and that will never change. I look forward to meeting all of you over the days and weeks ahead. I ask that you pray for me as I pray for you and please be patient with me during this time of transition. Although I am returning home, being Pastor of three parishes at once and facilitating the process of becoming one is a little daunting. I will need some time to get my bearings. I will also need your help so that we can, together, accomplish the task that is before us.
