just wanted to give everyone a state of the parish report since so much has been happening here at St. Edward’s recently. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. We had the Easter triduum one weekend, Confirmation the next, and First Communion the third. Whew!
In Archdiocesan news, our new Archbishop Wilton Gregory will be installed on Tuesday, May 21st. Please keep him in your prayers.
I also recently got news in the middle of holy week that our seminarian for the summer will be Fredy Calderon from Redemptoris Mater seminary. I will let you know more about when he will be starting soon.
We have been truly blessed here at St. Edward’s. We had a great Lenten retreat led by Fr. Charlie. The Triduum went beautifully and the altar servers were awesome. We had a beautiful Confirmation Mass with Bishop Dorsonville and our first communicants were so happy to receive the Eucharist.
Looking forward to this summer, the construction of our new roof will be beginning in June. We will also have a Pentecost party on Pentecost Sunday, which you will be hearing more about in the future. We also have a new budding Nursing Ministry seminar here at St. Edward’s on May 18th. Also, remember to mark your calendars that our seminarian from last year, Deacon Christian Huebner, will be ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, June 15th! As you can see, there is a lot going on so stay tuned to the bulletin!
God Bless,
Fr. Scott
