This coming Tuesday, June 2, St. John Parish will begin a new chapter. Together with St. Paul Parish we will begin a new journey as ‘Disciples in Mission’. Our Parishes will be led by one pastoral team and we will welcome Fr. Kevin Sepe as Pastor and Fr. Arthur McKay as Parochial Vicar. I am confident that St. John will greet them with the same warm hospitality, enthusiasm and cooperation that has always been shown to me and the rest of the staff.
I am very grateful for the many kind words, thoughtful notes and expressions of best wishes that you have offered to me over these past weeks. The memory of these days and the years that have preceded will be a source of great strength in the days ahead. My prayers are with you. Let me close with a blessing I often share:
May God bless us and keep us, may He make His face to shine upon us, may God be gracious to us and grant us His peace.
– Fr Tom
