      Dear Parishioners,
      The following reflection was discussed at our last Pastoral Council meeting earlier this spring. I invite you to reflect upon its meaning.
      Have a wonderful summer!
      Christ’s Peace,
      Fr. Frank
       
      My Church is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is.
      It will be friendly, if I am.
      Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
      It will do great work, if I work.
      It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
      It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.
      It will be a Church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a Church with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
      Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my Church to be.
      Amen.
