OVERWHELMED is the best word I can use to describe my feelings about everything that happened to celebrate my Silver Jubilee of ordination to the priesthood.  The Masses were beautiful and well attended.  

It took a great deal of time to go through the many cards I received.  The words on the card, both printed and written, touched my heart and led me to thank God for my priesthood and the opportunity I've been given to serve the wonderful people of this parish.

Finally, the receptions were well done and well worked by those who put time and effort before, during, and after they took place.  Special thanks to Mary Anne Honzik and JoAnn O'Brien for all their efforts to put the receptions together. Members of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, Home Plate and Mary Parks provided food that was satisfying to all.  This event, with all that was done for me, will be treasured by me for the rest of my life.  THANK YOU.
