Letter from the Pastoral Coordinator

June 29, 2025

Dear Families,

This weekend we celebrate the Feasts of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Happy Feast Day to all our parishioners in those parishes! Saints Peter and Paul were incredible witnesses to the faith and helped spread Christianity after the death of Jesus. They brought the Good News to both Jews and Gentiles, and both gave their lives for the cause. They came to their discipleship in very different ways and each fulfilled unique roles in the early Church. They were also flawed human beings who made mistakes along the way. This can give us hope. We are bigger than our mistakes and we have a loving God who is always there patiently waiting for us. God doesn’t always call the equipped but rather equips the called. How is God calling you to help spread the Good News and how will you respond?

On a personal note, as I wrap up my time as your Pastoral Coordinator, I would like to thank Fr. Scott and Archbishop Etienne for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to serve in this role. I would also like to thank all of you for your trust and support. Thanks be to God, Fr. Scott had a successful stem cell transplant and is doing much better now. He will return to his role as Pastor on July 1 and I will move to being the Director of Pastoral Ministry for the Parish Family.

Peace,
