A couple of weeks ago I received a telephone
call from a parishioner who was concerned
about a newcomer to our parish that did not
speak English. The parishioner outlined
several things he wanted me to look into to
make sure that the new parishioner was okay.
So, I setup a meeting with the newcomer and
another parishioner who spoke the same
language. The parishioner graciously
translated for over two hours and helped me to
gain insight into our newcomer.
Over the next several days, numerous
other parishioners called or approached me
with the same concern. I assured them that we
had met with him and were in contact with his family.
The outpouring of concern from parishioners
demonstrated people in our parish living their faith. It
helped me to reflect on part of Pope Francis's Lenten
reflection, "Faith finds expression in concrete
everyday actions meant to help our neighbors in body
and spirit".
Thank you to the people who reached out or
assisted me with our new parishioner. You have truly
demonstrated God's love and mercy. You have also
helped to remind us that we are a parish family open
to all! I hope you have a blessed and happy Easter!

The Share Fund is used solely to help people
