Dear Community of Saint Joseph’s;

 

I hope that your families Christmases were full of great moments.  As we move out of the Christmas season I want to express my gratitude for everyone who helped make our parish Christmas celebrations come alive. 

 

Thank you to everyone on our parish liturgy team for your efforts and sacrifices so that all our parishioners and guests might have a prayerful, beautiful and welcoming experience at Saint Joseph’s.  Thank you to all of the organizers of the parish Giving Tree and Food Donations (Saint Vincent de Paul?) for enabling our parishioners to assist in providing hundreds of gifts, meals and food cards.  Thank you to the parish staff for all the extra time and patience during the most hectic time of year.  And thanks to all of you for your prayers, your good will, your generosity to our community every single day. 

 

I hope that 2009 may be a year in which there is an increase of peace and joy in your life.  May every day of this New Year be one in which we acknowledge that we are loved and that all will be well.

 

With gratitude and my best wishes for your health and happiness in the New Year and always.

 

Father Matt Pennington
