I wanted to thank you for A Note from the Pastor and for the way your leadership and involvement have clearly made an impact at Maria Regina and in the wider community. Even from the outside, it’s easy to see how present and engaged you are — your reflections are thoughtful and accessible, and your commitment to parish life, outreach, and service beyond the church walls really stands out. So often people hear about the good being done long before they experience it firsthand, and your work is spoken of in that way. Thank you for the care, energy, and consistency you bring to your ministry.
