The Pastor’s Blog,
I can’t begin to thank the people of our parishes enough for the
hard work, dedication and loving service they have been
providing for the community in all areas of church life. From the
ministries to the fundraisers, from the liturgies to the special
events, people have given of themselves so freely. Please know
of my gratitude and that of the entire community.
The Pastor Installation that is coming up on the last weekend
of the month will be an opportunity to celebrate our communities.
More information will follow but I hope that as many as possible
will be able to join us at one or more of our churches, perhaps
checking out a worship site where they do not attend normally. It
will be an exciting day.
I would like to encourage everyone to consider attending part
of “The Gift of Grace” a three day mission hosted by St. Joseph
Parish next week October 14, 15 and 16th. Led by Deacon Rick
Washburn, these days of prayer and reflection will surely be a
time of blessings for those who attend and for whom prayers will
be offered.
I will actually be away later next week for my Alumni Reunion
in Baltimore and will be remembering all of you in prayer. I am
celebrating my 20th anniversary of priesthood as well as my
graduation from St. Mary’s Seminary and University. I will be
back Friday evening or Saturday morning in time for weekend
liturgies. God bless you. As I reacquaint with old friends and
classmates, I look forward to sharing how blessed I am in this
assignment.
In Christ’s love, Father George
