Dear Parishioners,

Your charitable giving these past several months made my year and has helped ease the burdens brought on by the pandemic. With 2020 in the rearview mirror, I join the chorus of so many voices ready to say “so long” to the past year! However, as with any challenge, there are always countless blessings to be seen through the eyes of faith. You are those blessings that I see! Thank you for remaining part of IHM.

When I reflect on our parish, I see significant signs of hope. You remain faithful, caring, and involved. You genuinely want to live the message of Jesus Christ and pass on the Good News to others; friends and family members. You want to make our community stronger, our world a little bit better. A parish life of worship and outreach helps to support people on their faith journey. Your gift is supporting our parish life together.

My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will continue to be evident through our parish work and worship that God will continue to protect each and every one of you from harm, and that Jesus will lead us all to the Kingdom.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 2021!
Many blessings,

Father Jim
