With great joy and deep gratitude to Almighty God, I share with you that it is a true honor to begin my new mission as Pastor of this wonderful community of Saints Peter and Paul. While I am newly appointed as Pastor, I do not feel like a stranger; rather, it feels like I am coming back home.
By now, you may have learned that I have been assigned to this parish without an associate pastor to assist in shepherding the community. Yet the Gospel reminds us: “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. So ask the Master of the harvest to send out laborers for His harvest.”
My friends, I want to assure you, I do not stand alone. With the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ and your faithful support, we will continue the mission entrusted to us. It is our mission, and the Lord has called us together to be faithful. And if we are faithful, by His grace, we will also be fruitful and successful.
I look forward to walking with you and growing in holiness together.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Gabriel Garcia
Pastor
