Father Tim will be celebrating 50 years of priesthood next week. We thank God for blessing him for all these years, and especially for his 29 years of service to our parish. We wish him a peaceful and blessed retirement, and look forward to welcoming Father Scott to our parish. We also thank God for Father Felix’s 2+ years here in our parish. We have enjoyed getting to know him, and wish him all the best at his new assignment just “up the road” in Hostyn.
We humbly ask the Holy Spirit to bless these priests in the future, and to continue to bless our parish in all our endeavors.
