July 3, 2016 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time A message from Fr. Daniel My Dear Sons and Daughters in the Lord, Here I sit in an empty office on my last full day and I can’t help but remember the great memories. Over the last three years I have been truly blessed to be a part of The Visitation of Our Lady. I can still remember my arrival and Max Burke coming to meet me and help me move in. I can also remember the beautiful reception that was hosted by the hospitality committee after my first mass. Now here we are three years later and I have had so many more experiences. I have presided over many masses, funerals, baptisms, weddings and prayer services. I have taught numerous Adult Faith classes, RCIA sessions and trainings for extraordinary ministers and lectors. I have also spent many hours with our young people through the school, youth ministry and religious education. None of these things would have been possible without your great support and love. It has been one of my greatest blessings to have such a supportive parish for my first assignment. Thank you for all of these gifts and for the gifts shared with me in these last weeks. I will not forget you and I hope you will remember me in your prayers. Fr. Daniel 2 Did You Know?
