St. Stanislaus

Dear family,

What a birthday I had, thanks to you!

I can’t tell you how special you’ve made this new pastor feel. All of the thoughtful cards, the tasty meals and homemade treats, the surprise cash gift you gave me after Mass, the awesome birthday yard sign…honestly I’m overwhelmed by the love and appreciation you’ve shown me.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank several other people for working so faithfully in the background to build up God’s kingdom and to make our parish the best it can be:

A big thank you to all our volunteers who help clean our church week after week. The care you show for the treasure that is our beautiful church is inspiring and the hard work you put in really warms my heart because I can tell you really love our parish. Keep up the great work and please know that your work does not go unnoticed!

Another big thank you to everyone who helped with our Holy Week Liturgies including our altar servers, lectors, cantors, choir, musicians, sacristans, decorators, ushers, and anyone else I’m forgetting! You all did a wonderful job making Holy Week a powerful and prayerful experience for all who attended the services and I know you put in a lot of hours of preparation to make it all happen. I was so pleased at how well Holy Week went and I know that God was glorified by the gift of your service. I also want to thank Betty Aubert in a special way for all of the behind the scenes work she put in and for so graciously working with the changes I made and being so helpful and flexible. Please take the time to thank her and all of these volunteers who made our Liturgies so beautiful. 

St. Joseph, Pray for us. 

Fr. Justin
