from the desk of FR Russell(June 13, 2021)
Congratulations to all who have "graduated" in various ways over the past school year and enjoy a well deserved summer recuperation. We are all experiencing a transition as
we hope to learn from the pandemic faced by the whole world.
As we move into the summer we keep in prayer all those who are transitioning. We pray for all priests in transition, especially Fr. Darwin Flores and Fr. Eliserio Palencia. Fr. Flores will "graduate" to running a parish himself at St. Therese of Jesus in Aurora. We thank him for his service ministering throughout our Deanery, especially here at St.
Mary. Special thanks also to Susana Garcia and the Hispanic Community for their generous support of Fr. Flores in our parish and Deanery. We welcome Fr. Eliserio Palencia from his service in Elgin and trust he will receive the same prayerful and generous support.We journey at various places and times always unit- ed in Christ and His Holy Spirit.
In Christ, son of Mary
