Luke 17: 5-10 Pastor’s Letter Dear Parishioners, 1. This weekend we welcome Father Sean Magaldi, Director of Vocations for our diocese. He will speak to us at all the Masses, giving us updates on his work and also telling us about how our donations to the Catholic Ministries Appeal is being used. Father Magaldi is a former student of mine, a recently-ordained priest and a fine young man with a wonderful personality. I know you will welcome him warmly. 2. This past week a concerned young lady yelled at the United Nations, “How dare you!” She was speaking — or yelling — about how people should be more concerned about climate change.
