By the time you read this you will have
already celebrated Christmas. So let me wish each of you and your loved
ones a very happy New Year and send wishes that everyone is healthy and
filled with the love of Christ. We all have many things to give thanks
for. Let each of us be thankful that we have a loving and faithful parish
community, one that will continue to do whatever we can to help our Pastor
build our new Church. In that light, I have in my possession and will
be giving Monsignor Richard a check for $10,000 that meets our annual pledge
for the Foundation for our Future. Thank you Brothers for making
this possible through your continued efforts. On another note, doesn't the altar in the GK Ed Keller |
