Last week, we bid farewell to Fr. Pat with a special Mass and reception at SJOW. Cynthia, our dedicated confirmation teacher, delivered a touching and heartfelt speech at the end of the Mass. Following her words, we presented Fr. Pat with beautiful flowers and a gift card. During the reception, he received all the SJOW notecards, and we were pleased to see a good turnout from our community.

Looking ahead, we'll continue to celebrate Fr. Pat with more tributes. On June 23, we'll present him with flowers and a gift at STC, and on June 29, we'll do the same at PSJ.

Peace and love in Christ, our Lord.
