Written ‘Nods
Fr. Tim Shreenan
I want to thank you, Father Tim Shreenan, for supporting and encouraging the Prayer Shawl Ministry. It’s such a beautiful example of how something simple, when done with prayer and God’s intent, can bring so much light into people’s lives. The idea of gathering to create something with our hands — not for recognition or profit, but purely out of love and faith — is a quiet act of grace that reminds us of what true community looks like. Each shawl carries not just warmth, but prayer, compassion, and connection. It’s such a gift to see people from different walks of life come together, talk, pray, and create something that will comfort someone they may never even meet. In a world that can feel so divided, this ministry is proof that small, prayerful acts done together can weave us closer to one another — and to God. Thank you for inspiring this kind of goodness within our parish and reminding us that faith can be lived out in the simplest, most meaningful ways.

Fr. George Sears
As a mother, I want to thank you, Father George Sears, for the incredible hope and purpose you’ve brought into the lives of so many young men through your leadership of the Melchizedek Project and your tireless, future-oriented ministry. In a world that so often pulls our children in every direction, you have offered them something far greater: a quiet, sacred space to listen for God’s voice, to rediscover faith, and to see the priesthood not as something distant or unreachable, but as a beautiful and meaningful calling. The compassion, patience, and authenticity you bring to your vocation work have touched countless families like mine. You don’t just speak about vocations — you live them, showing by example what it means to give one’s life completely to service and love. Thank you for believing in the next generation, for nurturing their courage, and for helping them see that the Church’s future is something they can help build with their own hearts and hands.
