I usually choose my words carefully; I often express how blessed I am to be the “father” of the Assumption BVM Family, that is, all of you! I only become more keenly aware of how very blessed I am the longer I am here.

As I write this message on January 4, I am still elated by my experience of this Christmas in Feasterville, and am so thankful because the ramp which I wrote about for the Winter Edition has been in use since my last writing. With future “kick offs” of various electronic resources including “FORMED” and “myParish,” our parish is poised to become more known for who we are, and for our commitment to be even more inviting to current non-parishioners and desirous of helping current and new parishioners become committed Catholics and disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our monthly “Praise and Worship” First Saturday gatherings are drawing many college students to our parish church; give yourselves a gift, and experience the love of Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, and visit our church from 7-8 pm on the first Saturday each month, and visit Jesus, too, every Tuesday from 9 am until Evening Prayer and Benediction at 6:45 pm; He will fill you! I am excited about “Walking With Purpose,” Bible studies exclusively for women, “Walking in Faith,” for Young Adults who want to deepen their personal relationship with Jesus. I am truly blessed to be your “father”; come to experience the blessings He has for you!

Peace,

Father Mike
