SHF Pastor's Blog

The new Parish Pastoral Council met last night for the first time. They are a great group of committed parishioners who desire to serve the parish. The first order of business that the council is undertaking is to discern goals to guide the council’s work for the coming year.

The council exists to assist me in identifying the needs of the parish and finding ways to fulfill these needs. I look forward to working with the new council. Please pray for our work.

In the course of my ministry I meet with couples preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage. These wonderful young people remind me that love is a gift from God. My prayer for all of us in this New Year is that love will bless our lives over and over again. Happy New Year.
