Fr. Mike Cronin

This weekend our parish celebrates the First Communion for many of our young people. They have been preparing this past year in a special way. They have all received their First Reconciliation and I look forward one day to see them all fully initiated with the Sacrament of Confirmation several years down the road. I want to thank our young people for their good spirit and energy and the support and encouragement of their parents, grandparents, and family members. This year has been particularly challenging and your efforts are sincerely appreciated. I also want to extend a word of gratitude to Annmarie DeMarais who so wonderfully worked with these young people and their parents in preparation for this special time in their lives. My prayer for our young people is that they will grow in love and appreciation of the Eucharist and see their participation in the life of the parish and the whole Church as an important part of their spiritual journeys.  Indeed, the Good Shepherd does not leave us untended.
Blessings to all for the week ahead.
See you soon.
