A MessAge froM fr. frAncis

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we previously announced, Fr. Michael is sadly being reassigned to St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Northeast Houston effective July 1st. We will certainly miss his presence and priestly ministry in our parish. To give us the opportunity to send him our best wishes, we are having a dinner in his honor on Wednesday, June 20th at 6:30 pm in the Community Center. We ask that you only contribute something sweet for the dinner.

Fr. Paul Foltyn, ordained on June 2nd, has been assigned to serve as parochial vicar here at St. Cecilia. We are pleased and grateful that the Cardinal has entrusted to us a newly ordained to do priestly ministry and service in the parish.

As we say goodbye to Fr. Michael and as we welcome Fr. Paul, it would be good to ask ourselves how we can show greater appreciation and care for our clergy. I hope that this is something that parishioners can do at all times, not only when a priest leaves our parish. To promote voca-tions more effectively, it is incumbent upon the parishioners of St. Cecilia to grow a parish culture in which the clergy is shown genuine gratitude in both word and deed.

Let us pray for one another.

Sincerely in Christ,

Father Francis

The weekend of June 30th and July 1st, Father Gerald E. Kelly of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, will speak at all the Masses.

Father Kelly has served as a missionary in Chile and he presently guides numerous mission groups to Mexico and Central America for short-term mission experiences. He is currently Team leader of Third Wave of Mission for the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers. He will invite us to take part in the vital work of bringing Christ and His Gospel to all people.

While at the parish, Fr. Kelly will be happy to talk with pa-rishioners who are interested in doing overseas mission work.
