St. Patricians,

Although the weather was gray and cold on Saturday, a fine crowd gathered, and we were able to celebrate Mass beautifully outside under the oak tree.

Sunday, though — Mother’s Day — was extraordinarily beautiful, and the faithful of St. Patrick’s gathered together for 8:30 and 10 a.m. Masses. It was good to see so many familiar faces, and to welcome many new ones from near and far, as we celebrated holy Mass.

Our prayers go out to all mothers, living and deceased, on this special day that honors them and the gift of life that they gave to us.

This past Wednesday, May 6, marked one year since I officially became pastor at St. Patrick’s. How blessed I am, and how grateful to God, that I was sent here to be your priest.

My love and prayers are with you all,

Fr. Guillory
