From the Pastor:

I want to thank Rose Mueller for organizing the Welcoming Dinner for our new parishioners. Also, for all who helped in any way, my sincere thanks. I believe those who came found it very rewarding.

This weekend we are celebrating the Feast of Pentecost - the third greatest Feast in the Church Year. Let’s always be grateful for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Knowledge, Fortitude, Piety and Fear of the Lord. “Come Holy Spirit, Come.”

Please welcome with me, Debbie Tritz, who has joined our parish. She is a daughter to Jim and Delores Tritz. Welcome Debbie.

Father Julius
