Dear Parishioners and Friends of our Parish,
As we move from the long –awaited Spring into the beautiful summer season, we have so many nice memories
of recent events. But we also have interesting and thoughtful events, traditional and new for this year.. So
many of you enjoyed and commented to me about the Maximilian Kolbe performance in our sanctuary and
particularly the imaginative way the lighting bathed our ceiling in blue. Everyone was delighted with the
Easter Flowers.
We are especially proud of our seniors who have not only served in parish ministries, but also exemplified
Catholic practice in their daily lives. The Anna E. Kelly Scholarship recipients are highlighted in this issue.
Be sure to note the upcoming events page. We continue with those events which you have come to love, and
each year work with you to find new ways to help our parishioners feel welcome and nourished by the spirit of
our Parish
