CONCLUDING THE UNIVERSAL, "YEAR OF THE PRIEST"..........

For the past year the Catholic Church around the world has been celebrating the, "Year of the Priest", as declared by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI. The primary purpose of this year long observance has been the spiritual renewal and perfection of the Priests of Jesus Christ, who are ordained by the Catholic Church to serve and lead the People Of God. It has been a source of affirmation, appreciation, respect, and remembrance, expressed by the Faithful, towards those of us who are Priests. To my family members, personal friends, fellow believers, parishioners past and present, and all the persons who have generously supported me in my priestly ministry over the past twenty three years and especially through my medical issues and experiences of the eight years, I am grateful now and into the future..........Peace And Prayers As Members Of God's Priestly People,   Fr.
