| Short Letter to My Parishioners:
Dear Friends in Christ: In the first monthly bulletin that was put out there was written the following: "The bulletin can be a means of drawing us closer to the Sacred Heart and of strengthening the bonds of charity and good will towards one another in the parish. This is the hope and prayer of its editor." I trust that the bulletin helped in some measure to achieve this spirit of unity and charity throughout our parish. For unless we have charity for one another, the true parish spirit is lacking. May each individual make a determined and preserving effort to strengthen this bond of unity. And I take this occasion to express my thanks to Almighty God for the five years that I have been your Parish Priest. I hope and pray that they have brought you and me closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and His Blessed Mother. I am most grateful to you all for you wonderful support and co-operation in all that we have endeavored to do. Without that good will, little would have been accomplished. I ask you to continue to give this support o my successor, Father Ronald MacLean. May each of you ever grow in the love of Christ, increasing the life of grace in your souls. Make frequent and regular use of the sacraments. Finally, in your charity, I ask you to remember me in your prayers so that I may fulfill my duties for the greater honor and glory of God, and for the good of the souls entrusted to me. In leaving as your pastor, you have the assurance of my prayers for your parish and all within it. God bless you always. F. A. Morley, P.P. |
