Please forgive the shift of topics in the pastor’s letter, but I wanted to spend time talking about a few things that are important to this family of parishes. Starting off, I wanted to thank the people that headed up the Fish Frys in Lent for our parishes. Thank you for the time and energy that these familial dinners provide for our parishes. Also a huge thank you for all the people that volunteered their time to cook and serve so many people and provide a meal and social moment for all our parishioners.

Also, I wanted to thank all the people that cooked for the Soup Supper talks in Lent. The various soups were amazing and fed our bodies while the talks hopefully informed the soul.

A thank you is in order for all the people that helped welcome pilgrims at Holy Cross-Immaculata on Good Friday. It was such a wonderful celebration for all those who grew closer to our Lord through this wonderful tradition.

The last thank you goes out to all the musicians that made this Holy Week truly beautiful.

Finally, I wanted to take a moment and talk about an upcoming Town Hall for our parishes. It will take place on Sunday evening, May 4th at 6:30 PM in the undercroft of St. Rose church. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our Parish Council and provide an update to the Beacons of Light process that we are now in the third year of roll out. If you have questions or would like to be more informed on where we are in this process, please consider coming to this meeting.

I hope all of you had a wonderful time with family and friends over Easter and are enjoying the treats that you denied yourself during lent to train your willpower.

May the Love, Peace and Grace of God be with you,

Fr. Adam
