A Message From Our Pastor
Dear friends,
Please join me in welcoming Fr.
Jim Sichko to our parish! As I have been mentioning, Fr. Jim is our parish mission presenter and comes highly recommended from many in our diocese and
beyond. I hope you will be able to make some time on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings at 6:30 in the church to journey with Fr. Jim on our parish mission!!!
While it is hard to believe, Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season is upon us starting March 6! I am already thinking of what I am going to do for Lent. And with Lent comes our fish fry’s! Jan Poulson is already hard at work planning and you have started to see what is needed regarding pop and other items.
As always, I am grateful for your generosity with this awesome parish event.
Please know that I appreciate you and our parish so much! It’s a true blessing to be journeying together.
In Christ,
Fr. Eric
