Thanks for all the cards and gifts.
You have been too kind. But most of all, I need to thank you for allowing me into your lives despite being a New Englander. Some of you are shouldering massive burdens that you shared with me. Gratefully, there are also marvelous examples of faith here too. With that strength, you have moved our parishes forward.
We have achieved much by
spreading responsibility for ministries and creating new ones. Sadly, priests come and go. But this is your
Catholic community. You can chart its direction and its success. Peace!
"We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly
mentioning you in prayer, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith
and labor of love
and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ".
St Paul in his 1st Letter to the Christians in Thessalonica (1:2)

Vacation Bible School JUNE 20 - 24
WATCH
The Wild Goose: God's Love Poured Out During the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, we remember a fundamental pillar of our Faith:
"God is love" (1 Jn 4:8). This simple statement is the beginning and the ending of our pilgrimage of Faith. In this episode of The Wild Goose, join Fr. Dave Pivonka as he illuminates God's eternal pouring out of Love.
LEARN
The Journey: Trinity, Faith and the God Who Is Love
The Bible reveals the mystery of who God is:
God is love. God created us out of love, died for us out of love, and invites us on a journey of faith in which we live in his love. In this study, we'll look at the God who is Love and how that love shows itself in the Trinity and the Faith.
LISTEN
Joyful Mysteries
As we celebrate the Visitation this week, we invite you to pray the Joyful Mysteries alongside this spoken Rosary set to music. Enter into some of the most joy-filled moments of Our Lord Jesus Christ's life, alongside the Blessed Virgin, through this devotional prayer and accompanying Scripture passages.
Our parish has a FORMED subscription to set up your free account visit formed.org/signup and select our parish. If you have any problems logging in please contact Nick for help [email protected] or 570-244-5774
