I wanted to express my gratitude to you all for the warmth and love with which you have welcomed all of us priests into this parish family. I realize that this is a very difficult, unfamiliar reality we are walking through together, and that can create a whole slew of thoughts, feelings, reactions within our hearts. Please know that I, along with the priests of this family, are completely invested in you. I personally have thoroughly enjoyed every chance I get to be on campus and am very excited for the opportunity to get to know you all and serve you all, whom I consider family. Know of my prayers and commitment, have a blessed advent.
Fr. Joe Barron, Moderator of the Family of Parishes
