𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧 – 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒

I would like to thank everyone for their love and support as I leave the Parish Community of St. Stephen and St. Patrick and the Mission of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. These past two years have been a blessing in my priestly life and I thank everyone who has journeyed with me. As I mentioned last weekend, my only regret is that there are only 24 hours in a day and that I was not always able to do as much as I would have liked to for our parish family. If I hurt or offended anyone in any way, I am truly sorry. I ask that you continue to keep me in your prayers and I will keep you in mine as well. I am confident that Fr. Thomas will do a wonderful job as he shepherds this wonderful parish community. I ask that you keep him in your prayers as well as he begins a new chapter in his priestly life. I also ask that you continue to pray for all priests and for an increase of priestly vocations in our diocese. May the Lord continue to provide loving shepherds for His Church!
