​Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Gratitude is the memory of heart
As I prepare to begin a new chapter in my priestly journey, my heart is filled with gratitude for each and every one of you. Serving as your pastor for the past six years at St. Therese and two years at St. Mark, has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. These years have been a sacred journey—a time marked by both joy and challenge, healing and hope.
Together, we have shared countless moments of joy, faith, and even challenges. I have witnessed your deep love for the Church, your generosity, and your unwavering support not only for me but also for the parish community. Your encouragement, prayers and kindness have strengthened me in my ministry more than words can express.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Fr. Eric, our Associate Pastor, all the members of the Parish council, Finance council, Ladies council, Little Flower Council, Parish staff, Sacred Heart Council of Knights of Columbus, The Fourth Degree brother Knights, Building & Grounds Committee, Sacred Worship Committee, Pro-life committee, Gate of Heaven Cemetery Board, Casa Theresa Board, Extra Ordinary ministers for Communion, Lectors, Ushers, Altar Servers, Sacristans, Musicians, Cantors, Choir Members, Ministers of the Sick and Home -bounds, Catechists, Volunteers, other committees and Groups of St. Therese and St. Mark parishes, for your faithful support, encouragement, and collaboration. Serving along with you, has been a true blessing for me.
As Fr. Janusz is going to begin his ministry among us, as people of God, People of one faith, I kindly request each of you to extend your full support, cooperation, encouragement and warm hospitality to Father.
The words of our Lord in Luke 17:10 echo in my soul today: “We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.” I am an unworthy servant and with all my limitation, I have simply done what God sent me to do—to serve, to love, and to walk with you as a shepherd and a friend. And yet, I have received far more than I have given, your kindness, your prayers, your stories, your lessons, and your faith, have been a blessing beyond measure.
I carry with me all that I have learned and experienced here at St. Therese and St. Mark and please know that you will always have a special place in my heart and in my prayers. Let us continue to walk this beautiful journey of faith, even from afar, always united in Christ’s love.
