MESSAGE FROM FR. JEFF

Hello everybody!

Thank you to all of our staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make my anniversary celebration beautiful, meaningful, delicious, and fun! Thanks, as well, to all who shared in the celebration and offered kind words and prayers. I am grateful to God for the gift of my priesthood and the opportunity to serve you as your pastor!

This week’s email is full of information because of the upcoming holidays and parish office closure. Our next Celtic Communicator will be on Jan 7. My prayers are with you and those you love as we celebrate the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ and turn the calendar to a new year. May the peace of Christmas and the hope of new beginnings be with you in the coming weeks!

Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Peace,

Fr. Jeff
