There are times in life when an act of kindness leaves us speechless. The many events of last weekend have left me not only speechless, but also overwhelmed. Your kind words, thoughtful notes and presence at those events have given me much strength as I prepare for the journey ahead and added to all of that, your most generous ‘travel fund’ has unleashed my imagination with all sorts of possibilities. Please know that I am profoundly grateful to each of you for these moments and for all the ways we have shared our faith journey here at St. John’s. – Fr. Tom
