CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF HOLY FAMILY PARISH - CITRUS HEIGHTS.........

Holy Family Parish in Citrus Heights, were I ministered as Associate Pastor in my first assignment as a priest, from July 1, 1987 - September 25, 1988; and where I returned to serve as Pastor, from November 24, 2000 - June 27, 2005, celebrated their 60th Anniversary, Monday night. A concelebrated Mass with current and past priests who have ministered at Holy Family, presided over by retired Bishop William K. Weigand, was followed by a potluck and musical entertainment in the parish Community Center. After a homily tracing the history of the parish and a 60th Anniversary slide show at the end of Mass, the evening's festivities concluded with reflections by the former Pastors present, including yours truly. Congratulations on your 60th Anniversary Holy Family Parish. Kudos to the parish ministries led by the Pastoral Council and Father Pol Guamapo, the current Parochial Administrator for planning this enjoyable celebration.........In the Spirit and Truth of Jesus, Mary, + Joseph and Christmas-Holy Family Joy and Peace, Fr.
