Advent Message from the Pastor
from Fr. Greg Menegay on December 18, 2011
Dear Parishioners,
As I sit here on this eve of Thanksgiving my heart is filled with an abundance of thankfulness for all of the prayers and support you’re offering for me during this time of healing. The amount of cards and letters I’ve received are too numerous to count and it brings me great joy to read your encouraging words. While I would like to be able to write each of you an individual thank you letter I simply don’t have the time so I’m hoping a general thank you will do.
Although it’s difficult for me to be away from the parish I have some health issues that were in need of full-time attention. The good news is that as I take the time to address these issues I’m feeling better as the days go by. I’m very grateful to Fr. Matthew for taking on the role of interim parochial administrator and I know that your support and encouragement are a big help for him.
There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t remember all of you, my parishioners in my prayers and Masses. I also never fail to pray for my staff, the deacons, and of course Fr. Matthew. St. Mary Magdalene has become the amazing parish that it is because God has brought such a wonderful group of people together. Although it will be awhile longer before I see all of you it gives me great joy to know we’re united in prayer. I pray God’s abundant blessings upon you and want you to know that you are loved and appreciated.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Greg Menegay
