PAGE 6 21ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME With the deepest gratitude from Father Daniel A. Bowen, O. de M. I add my own words of thanks to Father Daniel s for the overwhelming response from our parish community and groups outside the parish who baked, cooked, offered hospitality at the receptions, spent numerous hours refilling platters and beverage servers, and generally made Father s ordination and first Mass receptions events to remember. Your friendliness and generosity were most appreciated by the Mercedarian priests and brothers, attending religious women, and family and other guests who traveled many miles to attend this milestone event in Father s life. A few weeks ago we had two Saturdays when parishioners expressed their PRIDE in their parish by spending some hours cleaning, painting and sprucing up the grounds. This weekend the parish takes PRIDE in you for your generosity in sharing your time and talent to provide the banquet table at these unique parish events. I am grateful to each of you.

Those are the times when people may have missed the sign-in sheet. I believe we have a few more people whose names did not make the yellow sheets. I thank them, too, and apologize for any oversights on my part. jn. Father Daniel Bowen, O. de M. left his mailing address for anyone who would like to make contact with him. Pilgrimage to EWTN!
