To the parishioners of St. Stephen’s,

Many thanks for all the prayers while we were traveling through Rome and Italy. It was an eventful and life-changing trip.

Thank you also for the prayers and kind wishes for my 20th anniversary of Ordination. In front of our pilgrimage group, Rose Morin, on behalf of the parish, presented your Spiritual Bouquet and cards to me on the day of my anniversary – May 31st.

Know that I prayed for you all at the Mass with the Pope Francis, at all the other Masses and at the many Shrines and Holy Places we visited.

It is great to be home! God bless you all.

Fr. Mark
