A Simple Act of Gratitude

A Simple Act of Gratitude: Send Anniversary & Birthday Wishes

Our parish family has a beautiful opportunity to show our love and support for our senior priests. On May 3rd, our Pastor Emeritus, Father Joe Salerno, celebrated his 46th Anniversary of Priestly Ordination. This is a wonderful moment to send a card offering your prayers and congratulations in gratitude for his years of faithful priestly ministry.

We also remember our former pastor, Father Donald Karlen, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday and now resides at St. Lukes Nursing Home. A simple birthday card or note would surely brighten his day.

Taking just a few minutes to write is a meaningful way to express gratitude and share Christ’s love. Let us shower both of our beloved priests with our love, support, and prayers as a parish family.
