Notes from the Pastor – November 16, 2014
33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
THANK YOU!!
I appreciate all your affirmative comments about last
Sunday’s presentation of the “State of the Parish”. It
was actually a joy to share with you as parishioners all
that you have accomplished by your “Sacrificial
Giving”.
Do you recognize any of these NAMES?
Mathews…Fleming…Ryan…Manucy…Leonard…Cesaroni…Chu…Hutton…Doyle…Bremer…
Lynch…Corcoran…Daly…Sheehan…O’Rourke…Persse…Aliotta…O’Leary…Finochiaro…Fogarty
…Powers…Butler…Spellman…Hosti?
These are some of the names of families who are part of the 125 year LEGACY of St. Michael’s
Parish. Their names can be found on the stained glass windows, pews, altar, crucifix, and other
sacred objects in our Church.
THE STORY OF WALTER
- In 1935 Walter was baptized in St. Michael’s Catholic Church
- In 1944-1953 Walter was an altar boy at St. Michael’s Church
- In 1957 Walter was married at St. Michael’s Church
- In 1960-1982 Walter brought his children to St. Michael’s Church
- Walter gave faithfully every week to the Offertory Collection
- In 2013 Walter left $2.6M in his will to his university (Notre Dame)
- WHY? Because his pastor NEVER asked!
We are quickly approaching Thanksgiving Day – be a grateful steward and give back to the Lord a
gift. Write your check to:
