I am happy to announce that we will have another priest joining us on September 1, 2018. Cardinal Sean O Malley has appointed Fr. Michael Ssenfuma as Parochial Vicar of Saint Mary of the Hills Parish in Milton and of Saint Elizabeth Parish in Milton. I have had the opportunity to meet Fr. Ssenfuma and I am excited that he is joining the mission in our parishes. We have started to clean the third floor of St. Mary s Rectory and hopefully we will have the collaborative parish office all set there by August. Finally, the pastoral councils of both parishes met this week. It was the first of many meetings to start planning and organizing our collaboration efforts. May you have a blessed week!
