A Surprise for Our Priest


Very quietly for the past two Sundays, parishioners have been passing around and signing a special commemorative card as a remembrance of the Sixth Anniversary of Fr. Andrew's Ordination to the Priesthood. Fr. Andrew was ordained at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Martalli, India on July 21, 2002.

Last Sunday this card, which will eventually be placed in a large frame, was presented to our unsuspecting priest! The card was already filled with numerous names, but still more parishioners lined up after Mass to place their signatures wherever space could be found. It was a moving tribute to our priest.

After Mass, everyone went downstairs to the church hall where two appropriately decorated Anniversary cakes and
refreshments awaited our celebrating parish family.
