Over the past several weeks, I have had the privilege of introducing several Capuchins who will be ministering in our Parish. In case you have missed any of them, I thought it might be helpful to (re) introduce them.
Fr. Robert Abbatiello: Fr. Robert will be helping at weekday and weekend Masses.He is a son of Sacred Heart, having graduated from both our grade and high schools.Fr. Robert will also be serving on the newly formed Board of the High School.He serves the friars as the Vicar Provincial of the Province.
Fr. Michael Banks: Fr. Michael is a former Provincial and is currently in residence at Saint Clare Friary.He will be assisting by hearing confessions from time to time.
Br. Richard Therrien: Br. Richard began his Bible Study (a huge success!) this past Tuesday.It will meet every Tuesday at 10:00 in the Parish Office.Br. Richard boasts a long history as an educator.
We are most grateful that both Fr. Senan Taylor and Fr. Michael Connolly will continue to offer Masses both on the weekends and weekdays. They are co-directors of the program at Saint Clare Friary. Sacred Heart continues to be blessed by Br. Roger’s presence, Fr. Christopher’s gentle spirit greeting people after Mass, and Fr. John’s return to Sacred Heart!
The Capuchins have been at Sacred Heart for 125 years: it is truly our joy to serve all of you!
Please pray for me, and know I’m always praying for you,
Fr. Matt
