Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 26, 2022

Fr. Jim's Jots

We celebrate Sister Tiberh Hagos, a Comboni Missionary Sister, who has been our Human Concerns Minister for several years.

What a special blessing it has been to have Sr. Tiberh serve our parish community of St. Elizabeth.  I personally have learned so much from Sister and in a unique way to trust in "PROVIDENCE."  Whenever a challenge or difficulty would occur, Sister would say, "We must trust in God's PROVIDENCE."  

When a very good event or unexpected gift would be given to the parish, Sister would say, "It is PROVIDENCE."

It was PROVIDENCE that brought Sr. Tiberh to join St. Elizabeth, to welcome our Umoja newcomers to our parish, to support the invigoration of our parish as we now are blessed with lots of children and crying babies, and I thank God for Sr. Tiberh.

We thank all who took part in any way, in the wonderful celebration at St. Michael's this past Thursday.  The music, the celebration, the gathering of family and friends, to say Thank YOU to Sister Tiberh as she leaves St. Elizabeth to move to Chicago to continue her studies and receive her Masters of Divinity.  I know she will do a wonderful work in her future and we at St. Elizabeth have been blessed with the gift of PROVIDENCE to have had Sister walk with us in faith, charity and enrich our diversity.

Blessings to Sister Tiberh, her family, and her Comboni Sisters,

+ Fr. Jim Arsenault, Pastor
