Dear Parishioners,
After seven wonderful grace filled years as your Pastor, I am leaving for a sabbatical-time to rest, pray and study. Some months will be spent at our Theological Seminary in Bogota, Colombia and then in Rome. At the end of this year, my superiors will destine me to other endeavors.
I wish to thank all of you for your cooperation, good will and prayers for me. I have been pleased and edified by your spiritual commitment and advancement, beginning with the little children, teen agers, adults and elderly - all you parishioners who are the Body of Christ.
Be united in your diversity, generous in your care for the needy and fervent in your prayers for yourselves and others. I promise to remember you to Jesus at daily Mass and to Mary in the Rosary.
I know you will accept your new pastor, Fr. Moacir with open arms. He comes with great enthusiasm to serve you. You need his help and prayers and he needs yours.
I always told you that God has wonderful blessings in store during this years.
Blessings to you and to your family, my good people of God!
Fr. Alex Dalpiaz, c.s.
