Dear Friends,
“Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the Lord with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.” - 1 Chronicles 29:9
The Lord loves a cheerful giver, and we recognize that you have gifted St. Dominic’s Church generously and willingly from your own resources. Without contributions like yours, we wouldn’t be able to carry out the missions of our church and its various ministries. Your gift of $10,100.00 collected from Father Martin’s campaign of “100 Friends of Saint Dominic” is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
On behalf of myself and St. Dominic Parish, May God richly add his blessings to your life. Thank you once again for your donation. It means the world to us! If you ever need anything, please reach out to me anytime you wish. Sincerely in Christ,
Monsignor David L. Cassato Administrator

PREGHIERA PER I SACERDOTI
Abbiamo bisogno di preti, Signore, ma di preti fatti sui tuo stampo; non vogliamo sgorbi, non vogliamo “occasionali”, ma preti autentici, che ci trasmettano te senza mezzi termini, senza ris- trettezze, senza paure. Vogliamo preti “a tempo pieno”, che consacrino ostie, ma soprattutto anime, trasformandole in te; preti che parlino con la vita, più che con la parola e gliscritti; preti che spendano il loro sacredozio anzichè studiare di salvaguardarne la dignità.
Sai bene, Signore, che l’uomo della strada non è molto cambiano da quello del tuoi tempi; ha an- cora fame; ha ancora sete; fame e sete di te, che solo tu puoi appagare. Allora donate preti stracol- mi di te, come un Cuarato d’Ars, preti che sappiano irradiarti; preti che ci diano te.
Di questo solo di questo noi abbiamo bisogno.
Perdona la mia impertinenza; tieniti i preti dotti, tieniti I preti specializzati, i preti eloquenti, i preti che san fare schemi, inchieste, rilievi. A noi, Signore, bastano i preti dal cuore aperto, dalle mani forate, dallo sguardo limpido.
Cerchiamo preti che sappiano pregare più che organizzare, preti che sappiano parlare con te, perchè quando un prete prega, il popolo è sicuro.
Oggi si fanno inchieste, si fanno sondaggi su come sarà, su come la gente vuole il prete. Non ho mai risposto al queste inchieste, ma a te, Signore, posso e voglio dirlo: il prete io lo voglio impas- tato di preghiera.
Donaci, o Signore, preti dalle ginocchia robuste, che sappiano sostare davanti a te, preti che sappiano adorare, impetrare, espiare; preti che non abbiano altro recapito che il tuo Tabernacolo. E dimentica- vo: rendici degni di avere tali preti.

Queridos amigos,
"Entonces el pueblo se alegró porque habían contribuido voluntariamente, porque de todo corazón hicieron su ofrenda al SEÑOR; también el rey David se alegró enormemen- te" (1 Crónicas 29: 9).
El Señor ama al que da con alegría, y reconocemos que ustedes han dado generosamente y voluntariamente a la parroquia de St. Dominic con sus propios recursos. Sin contribucio- nes como la suya, no podríamos llevar a cabo las misiones de nuestra iglesia y sus diversos ministerios. Su donación de $10,100.00 que se recaudó de la campaña del Padre Martin de "100 Amigos de Santo Domingo" es muy apreciada. ¡Gracias!
En nombre mío y de la parroquia de St. Dominic, que Dios bendiga abundantemente sus vidas. Gracias una vez más por su donación. ¡Significa todo para nosotros! Si alguna vez necesitan algo, por favor búsquenme para lo que deseen .
Sinceramente en Cristo,
