5 The tremendous number of people, who visited us at the funeral home, attended the funeral, and who sent cards and good wishes have left us so very thankful and humbled by their grace and generosity. It may take some time to get back to everyone individually, but please accept my thanks I can briefly express now. We know we do not suffer our grief alone and want you to know we are there for you even as you have been there for us. I know Ed is happy in heaven with my Dad and so many others of our beloved deceased and he felt your love and support as well.
6 These past several weeks have taught me more than ever that in the family of the Church we are here to help one another through all the challenges of life. Your love and support during this time has shown me that, in a deeper way than I ever knew before. With the retirement of our longtime Pastoral Associate, Mary Beth Green, I have hired two people in part-time positions to undertake the roles Mary Beth so capably fulfilled over the years. Sr. Althea Anne Spencer, OSF and Mrs. Cathy Militzer (a longtime principal in the diocese, and mother of current Mother of Mercy Academy Principal, Don Militzer) will each have the title of Pastoral Assistant.
7 Sr. Althea Anne and Mrs. Militzer are charged with organizing the many procedures in place for funerals, weddings, and baptisms, as well as pastoral visits to the sick and, attendance at important parish meetings, support for any needs on our broader parish staff, and a variety of spontaneous and miscellaneous needs that come up in a parish setting every day. We welcome them to the staff and ask you to pray for them in their new ministerial roles. An important initiative from the Pastoral Council and Worship Committees seeking liturgical volunteers begins this week in our bulletin.
8 Please prayerfully consider volunteering! Finally, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is on Wednesday, December 8th. It is a holyday of obligation. Gratefully in Christ, From the Desk of Fr.
