Dear Parish Family:

My responsibilities make it impossible to be with you as you celebrate the founding of Notre Dame. It was a privilege and joy to be your Pastor for nearly 12 of these years. Your faith and commitment was and continues to be a source of strength to me. I was blessed to know the support of each of my predecessors, and then to join you in giving them back to the Lord. May their legacy and yours continue to grow. May the Blessed Mother watch and guide your worship and witness to the Gospel. Con-gratulations, God’s blessings, and my best.

Fr. Jeff (#4)

P.S. Belated congratulations to St. Bart’s, too, as you celebrated your deeply rooted faith!
