Dear Parishioners,

As you know, less than two years ago, Sacred Heart was blessed to have Fr. Brendan Fitzgerald assigned to us as our associate pastor. Just recently, Archbishop Lori appointed him Rector of the Basilica of the Assumption in downtown Baltimore. This is a great compliment and a real recognition of Father Brendan‘s talent and abilities. There is no doubt Father Brendan will be a marvelous pastor for this community  and great rector of this gem entrusted to him!

I am very saddened by his move, not only because he has been a wonderful priest here at Sacred Heart, but also because I will miss his friendship and counsel. Please join me in thanking Fr. Brendan for giving us his all during these two years at Sacred Heart. We will be having a farewell celebration for Fr. Brendan on Sunday, June 26th. All are welcome to join us. Please RSVP below so we have an idea of the number and can have enough food to go around. Those with a talent for baking are encouraged to bring a dessert to share.

We hope to see you there!

Fr. Gerard Francik

Pastor
