Message to Catholic Voters

Often times, it is when bad times come to our lives that we truly realize how much we need our faith to carry us. A family in our parish recently, tragically, lost their daughter who was 24 years old. We know this family well, as our children grew up together and where close friends throughout their time at their Catholic schools. The pain that mother is going through is unimaginable and I can only hope she found some comfort in the outpouring of support and love from the Catholic community we have all been a part of for 30 years. This unfortunate circumstance is a gleaming reminder of how important my faith is. When burdens become just too hard to carry on our own, we have the strength or our community, our faith and in God to help us carry that seemingly too heavy load, on that journey.
