Fr. Canice to the Parishioners of MQS

My Dear Parish  Family,

As Father Jean-Luc concludes his service to our parish, Father Joachim and I would like to echo the thoughts and sentiments that we have heard from so many of you, and express our great  appreciation  for  all of the ways that Father Jean-Luc has led our parish as a true shepherd.  As the Bishop shared in his letter to our parish, Father Jean-Luc is a good priest.  The Lord has used him to move the hearts of many, leading us to a deeper relationship with our Blessed Mother and Her Son.  For this, we are truly thankful and feel very blessed.   

As I [am about to] begin my service as pastor of our parish, I wish to thank you all for the tremendous support that you have already shown me.  Your love and affection has moved my heart deeply and I am greatly consoled by the promise of your prayers.  I hope you also know of my deep love for you and my desire to serve you as we journey together on the path to becoming saints.   

Please continue to pray for Father Joachim and I as we will continue to entrust you to our Blessed Mother, Mary, Queen of Saints.


In the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Father Canice, OSB
