A Special Note of Thanks
from Father Barry
Dear Emmaus and Queen of Angels Chapel,
I cannot thank you enough for the generous notes, cards, and gifts that I have received over the last month. They will definitely help me to get started and established in my new role.
My time here has been an amazing period of growth and joy in my priesthood. We have been through many ups and downs together, and I will carry all of these moments as memories.
Once again, I thank Fr. David, Fr. Samuel, the parish staff, and you for your friendship, kindness, and support. Please be assured of my prayers for you during this coming year.
Fr. Barry
