Dear Parishioners of St Aloysius Parish

 

      We have come to the end of a very difficult year full of difficulties caused by the pandemic, economic hardship for many, and deep political divisions in our country.  2021 was also a year of grace and blessings as well, because of everyone’s cooperation no one that I am aware of no one became ill with Covid from any activities at the Parish.  I would like to thank you all for what you have done and continue to do in keeping everyone safe here at the Parish.  Another blessing is that the Parish continues to do very well financially allowing us to make repairs, maintain the parish, and pay our staff.

   

            I am moved by the number of people at this parish who have taken an interest in my classes. There is a real desire on the part of many parishioners to learn more about their faith and the scriptures. I will continue to offer classes on many different subjects for as long as I am assigned to this parish.  Please feel to offer me suggestions for class topics, I am open to offering classes that people will find helpful in their spiritual journey.

   

            If you know of anyone who has not returned to the parish and are not attending Mass because of the pandemic please keep in touch with them and keep them in your prayers.

     It is my hope and prayer that the coming year will be a blessing for all of you.  I pray and hope that in the coming year we will all grow stronger in faith, prayer, and service.  If there is anything I or the parish staff can do for you just let us know, we are here to serve you.  It has been a joy serving as your pastor over the last year.  My you have a happy and blessed new year.

 

Sincerely

 

Fr Barnabas Eichor ofm.cap
