We cannot say thanks enough for the many people and things in our lives that we are grateful for. So many times we take people or things for granted and we do not stop to realize what life would be like without them in our lives. Hopefully, our parish is one of those things that we find ourselves grateful for.
Many of your family members, relatives and friends worked and sacrificed for this parish in order that we may worship here today. We are called to continue and to prayerfully consider how you might help the parish in the years to come. One cannot know the changes that will come about in the future, but we can make sure that our parish is around to see those changes.
Thank you for your commitment and your cooperation. It has only been with the love and dedication for the parish from all parishioners that St. Vincent’s is and will continue to be a vibrant and faith filled church. May the Lord grant you the fullest of blessings for your generosity.
I remain sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Karl Loeb,
Pastor
