A Big Thank You

I wanted to write a thank you to all who were part of my 25th priesthood anniversary celebration.  I appreciate all the cards, sentiments, kind words, and gifts (individual thank you’s to follow).  Your support and generous spirit is very much appreciated by me—so, thank you!

A special thank you to the Altar & Rosary Society for all their hard work and effort (my mom thanks you, too).  Everyone commented on how beautiful it was and the great food as well.  I don’t want to use names in case I forget someone—but, thank you one and all for all your work and effort in making the day a wonderful time—you are so great!!!

I also want to thank my brother Knights of Columbus for providing the beverages for this event.  Also, being the Color Guard for the Mass, and helping with parking.  You are very much appreciated, brothers!

I also want to thank the choir for making the Mass so beautiful.  And to my brother priests, for coming to concelebrate the Mass.

Most especially, I want to thank God for the privilege of being His priest and putting me with you, the people of St. Joseph Church.  God has been good to me!  May we grow together in striving toward Heaven.
