Vatican Correspondence

/

Dear Parishioners,

 On May 9, I wrote a letter (below) congratulating Pope Leo XIV on his election and assuring him of the prayers of our parish.  A part of my motivation for writing him was that, when he was first made a cardinal, he was given the care of a church in Rome named for St. Monica (this practice is referred to as a cardinal receiving a titular church).  Given that connection of parish patroness, I wanted to share with the Pope our added excitement.  Recently, I received this nice response from the Vatican, passing along Pope Leo’s greetings and blessing.

Pastoral Letter from Fr. Hamilton

/

Dear Parishioners,

 I want to make you aware of some important news for our parish.  I have written a pastoral letter treating our political responsibility as Catholics.  I am excited to release this letter and I pray that it will generate much positive interest among the entire parish. Link is below.

 I ask you to give attention to the letter and to observe some prayerful reflection upon it in the context of your own life as a disciple of Jesus.  Together we are called to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, including in our political engagement and electoral choices.

 Sincerely, 

Fr. Hamilton
Pastor
