Dear friends,
Each year we submit two reports to the Diocese: the finance report, which is summarized for you as the insert in today’s bulletin, and a statistical report of sacraments celebrated, etc. The number of sacraments celebrated last year is listed at the bottom of the finance report and reflects the real vitality of the parish. We also responded to 250 requests for food from our emergency food pantry. The statistical report is complemented by a short narrative of main parish events for the fiscal year that ended 30 June 2023. Below is the narrative of significant historical events:
The summer and fall of 2022 began the “post-pandemic” era. We resumed meetings and activities including the parish picnic, flea market, and international festival. Ordained three years previous, Father Jesús Ramírez, CSJ came from Mexico and celebrated Masses of Thanksgiving with this, his deacon internship parish. He also returned in December to preside at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass. Family one day retreats were well attended in Advent and Lent. In May, newly appointed auxiliary bishop Michael Woost came to celebrate the confirmation of 16 young people. The year 2023 is the 140th anniversary of this parish. A large committee of people planned the celebration presided by Bishop Malesic on June 25th. The bilingual Mass and outdoor reception and meal after Mass were well attended. A picture of the congregation assembled on the front steps of the church was taken, as had been taken on the 50th anniversary in 1933. A commemorative booklet was published. The parish was featured on a program of the Catholic radio station AM 1260 “The Rock”. The local “Neighborhood News” also featured the event. Pastoral Minister Sister Charlotte Hobleman SND celebrated her golden jubilee as a professed religious sister. The roof on the rectory was replaced in December 2022
Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Joseph H. Callahan
