Dear Parishioners,
A lot of work went into preparing the church for Christmas. We had a lot of volunteers this year. So, I would like to take a moment in this bulletin letter to thank all of those who were involved. This includes:
- Christina Schuetz (who tirelessly coordinated everything)
- Bela, Tony & Maryanne Fiuza
- Mary Kavookjian
- Susan (Mary K’s friend)
- Mary Ellen Lynch
- Mary Leone
- Bernadette Mount
- Luke & Chris Piazza
- Julie & Nito Pineda
- Fe & Victor Closa
- Zack & Liam Closius
- Megan & Emily Fleming
- Kara Closius
- Glenn & Tom Bates
- Johsey Icasiano
- Lawrence Ghezzi
- James Aquino
- Mike McCormack
- Jim & Carol Maliff, and
- Wayne Berning (for ushering many Masses)
I would also like to thank the Ice King company (Lomangino family) for providing workers to help set up the Church. And also the Julius Roehrs Company for going out of the way to provide gold paper for the flowers.
I would also like to thank all our altar servers who sacrificed part of their vacations for the glory of the Lord.
It has been quite the Christmas season filled with many blessings and many liturgies. We come to Mass primarily to glorify God and we do that with our prayers and good works. All these efforts are an expression of that devotion as well as aiding others in being devoted to the Lord. On this last day of the Christmas season, may we be thankful for all the many blessings God gives us and look forward to seeing Him one day come in glory.
God bless!
Fr. Carter
P.S. If I missed anyone, I greatly apologize.
