Message fromFather Mark
As I write this, on Tuesday June 30th, I commence a new transition, a new journey. Tomorrow July 1st, I begin a new journey at Sacred Heart Church in Mt. Vernon. Different emotions are running through me at this time. Joy, Hope, Fear, Exhilaration. I am thankful for the 7-8 years here at St. Theresa’s and at St. Francis of Assisi in Gilmer. There have been many moments of joy, sorrow, pain, healing, struggle, rebuilding. I am thankful for the support and love from everyone in the community. St. Theresa’s is not a church, it is a Family. Let us continue to support our priest of our Diocese and give support to Fr. John Robinson Thason, who becomes your pastor. As many of you hear me say, I don’t say goodbye, I will say see you soon, see you later and I’ll keep in touch. Let us pray for Fr. Cristian as he takes charge of the St. Francis Community.
ST. THERESA AND ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI COMMUNITY, CONTINUE TO ROCK AND GROW! FR. MARK
