To My Dear Friends and Parishioners at St. Priscilla Church,

I want to thank all of you for the love and support you have shown to me over the many years that I have been at St. Priscilla as your deacon. It has been my pleasure and honor to serve such a wonderful community for the past 16 years. You have become part of my family and I have developed many true friendships during this time. I have recently reached the age of 80 years and have decided that it’s time to retire from the ministry. I will miss you all very much but will have so many great memories to dwell on in my retirement.

I truly believe that St. Priscilla parish is a very special place.
I have found it to be loving, generous, accepting and understanding. I felt welcome from the beginning and enjoyed working on many projects, such as the Haiti houses, Habitat, St. Vincent to name a few. The people that I had the pleasure to work with were wonderful. Your generosity, especially with the poor is just phenomenal. I believe that is the reason that this parish has survived where so many others have closed.

The pandemic and the division in our society has taken a toll on each of us, our lives, economy, our social networking and even our parish and Church. These tough times though are often opportunities for a spiritual renewal. I have fervent hope that the people of St. Priscilla will rise up under the leadership of Fr. Joe and develop a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father, and a greater appreciation of the Eucharist and the values and traditions of our holy church.

May God Bless you all, Deacon Bob
