FROM FR. SCOTT: June 9, 2024

June 6, 2024Dear Parish Family,
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and grace! During the Easter Season, we celebrated First Communions, Confirmation, end of the school year activities and graduation, Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi, and so many other awesome events at the parish and in our diocese. I celebrated my 10th anniversary of priesthood on May 17 and Fr. Fabian celebrated his first anniversary on May 20. Time flies, but the grace of God guides us through all our days.
We also welcomed Anthony Donatelli, our summer seminarian, to our parish this past month. I've asked Anthony to do some bulletin reflections during his time with us to share what's on his mind and heart and to let us know what he's been up to. Anthony will also be sharing reflections at some of our daily Masses and at a few weekend Masses over the next few months. It's been a wonderful time these past few weeks ministering with Fr. Fabian and Anthony! These are great men helping us know and serve Christ our Lord, and I am grateful to have them with us.
As we enter into the slower pace of the summer months at the parish, I invite you to take time to invest in your relationship with Jesus. Come to daily Mass more often. Spend time in adoration. Take time for confession on Saturday afternoon. Pray a rosary while you sit on the porch or take a walk. Spend a few hours of your time serving in a ministry at the parish or just doing something kind for a neighbor in need. God wants to renew your heart and spirit, so commit yourself to growing in your relationship with Him.
I am yours in Christ,
Fr. Scott Goodfellow
