My dear sisters and brothers in faith and hope,
How important it is for us as Christians to never forget the needy among us. You, the people of St. Julia are a
wonderfully generous people who care for each other and who respond generously and kindly to those in need.
I would like to thank everyone who attended the listening and discussion sessions with me and Friar Luis this week. We both listened attentively to your insights and suggestions. We will bring them to our discussion as we formulate the Pastoral Plan for our parish family.
This coming Tuesday and Wednesday the people of St. Julia will meet with their pastor to have an honest and open
conversation about the future of our parish family. On Tuesday, Sept. 13 after the 8:30 morning mass, we will meet in an English conversation. On the evening of Sept. 14 we will meet in a Spanish conversation. Everyone who is interested in the life of the parish is welcome to attend.
I am looking forward to welcoming Friar Luis among us. He will be a great help and support for me as I will be for him.
Once Friar Luis joins us and the two of us are able to plan together, I would like to implement a few new
adventures for our parish family. It is my hope that many of us will participate in these new experiences that
are meant to strengthen our life of faith and the social life of our parish family.
