Dear Parishioners of St Mary’s and Our Lady of Peace,
You have been in my prayers since I learned I became your pastor. I express my deepest gratitude for the warm and heartfelt welcome into this new community as your new pastor.
This last Sunday, Archbishop Aquila installed me as your new pastor. I feel honored to walk this journey with you. As I promised Archbishop Aquila, my first and foremost duty will be to guide you to Jesus Christ, ensuring that you are always on the right path.
I look forward to growing together in faith as we participate in the sacraments and build a community where people feel welcomed and everyone feels a strong spirit of fellowship. As Jesus said, they will know you are my disciples by the love you share for one another. Let's make this love and fellowship the cornerstone of our community.
Thank you again for making this transition enjoyable and embracing me with kindness. I look forward to learning your story of salvation.
Let’s continue building together the Kingdom of God here on earth, and may God continue to bless our parish and guide us in all we do.
Fr Erik Vigil
