Thank you and prayerful best wishes.
This week Valan, a seminarian at St. John’s Seminary, completed his summer assignment with us. He will shortly return to the Seminary to continue with his studies and discernment for the priesthood. Valan has helped in many different ministries while here at St. Mary’s. He served and read at Holy Mass and assisted with funerals. Also, he was instrumental in the reorganization of the parish cemetery and updating the records. He visited the sick at home, in the hospital, and at Nursing Homes. He worked alongside our teens and was present to our seniors. His summer was busy and fruitful. I am grateful for his assistance, his presence, and his enthusiasm in serving the Lord and our parish. May God bless him in the seminary in the upcoming year. May he know that St. Mary’s will now be a place he can call home.
St. John the Evangelist, pray for him!
