Farewell Potluck
Congratulations to our 8th grade graduates
Written by Fr. Michael Straley on May 13, 2012
Howdy, This time of year is always wonderful for a pastor, filled with many activities that make me proud. We just celebrated Confirmation and First Eucharist for over 100 of our young people, and so today our community is especially filled with the Holy Spirit. Congratulations to all of you!
Today in the hall, you can see the shrines set up by our school children as they honor our Blessed Mother with our Maryfest. Please take a few moments to drop by the Hall to see their great work.
Monday evening is both a happy and sad time as we celebrate graduation for our 8th graders. I am so proud of this, my first class from OLPH. They have grown so much in maturity and leadership. I wish all of you could have seen this growth through the year. It is one of the joys of being a pastor with a school; to get to know our children so well, but it is also hard to send them off to their new schools. I have every confidence that they will continue to make us proud. Please remember to pray for our graduates this week.
Also this week, our summer seminarian, AJ Enfield will arrive to begin his summer of learning more about parish life and priesthood. Next week our new Youth Minister, Ryan Ayala, will arrive. So, you can see, we will have a busy and exciting summer.
Pax, Fr. Mike
Que tal,
Es maravilloso ser párroco en esta época del año
ya que está llena de actividades que me hacen
sentir muy orgulloso. Acabamos de celebrar la Confirmación y Primera Comunión de más de 100 de
nuestros jóvenes, por lo que hoy nuestra comunidad
está especialmente llena del Espíritu Santo. Felici
dades a todos!
Hoy en el salón parroquial se pueden ver los santuarios construidos por nuestros niños de la escuela parroquial para honrar a Nuestra Santa Madre durante el Festival Mariano. Por favor tomen unos minutos para pasar al salón y ver su gran trabajo.
El lunes por la noche es un momento feliz y triste a la vez al celebrar la graduación de nuestros estudiantes del octavo grado. Estoy muy orgulloso de mi primera clase de OLPH. Ellos han crecido tanto en madurez y liderazgo. Quisiera que todos ustedes pudieran haber visto este crecimiento a través del año. Es una de las alegrías de ser un párroco con una escuela, la oportunidad de llegar a conocer tan bien a los estudiantes, pero también es difícil enviarlos a sus nuevas escuelas. Tengo plena confianza en que van a seguir hacienda que nos sintamos orgullosos de ellos. Por favor, recuerden orar por nuestros graduados esta semana.
También esta semana, llegará nuestro seminarista, AJ Enfield, para comenzar su tarea este verano de aprender más sobre la vida de la parroquia y el sacerdocio. La próxima semana llegará Ryan Ayala, nuestro nuevo Líder de Jóvenes. Como pueden ver, vamos a tener un verano muy ocupado y emocionante.
Pax, Padre Mike
