I wanted to write one last column to thank each of you for your amazing generosity and kindness as I move on from helping out at the New St. Mary’s. The dinner, beautiful words, prayers, cards and gifts were overwhelming! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Just remember to keep it all going! You’re a great parish and will be an even stronger family! Thanks too for the wonderful support of the horse pull last weekend. The weather was amazing, the chicken bbq great and the horses were wonderful to see again on the parish grounds.
Lastly, I wanted to share with all of you the work that has been done, or is scheduled to be completed in our parish. At the parish work days more work was accomplished than can possibly be listed here, from pew repairs, to garbage removal, to repairing siding, cleaning out old books, organization and cleaning, to many other tasks.
