Dear Saint Aloysius Parishioners,
We have arrived at a very special moment of grace. It is time for us to celebrate and proclaim our love for the Eucharist. It is time to reconcile with the Lord. It is time to celebrate our parish feast. It is time for us to celebrate and bid farewell to Father Francesco.
As has been announced our Forty Hours devotions began on Friday evening. As I am writing someone has already signed up for all of the half hour adoration time slots through all of Friday night and most of the half hour slots through Saturday and Saturday night.
Father Francesco is giving us his final message as Parochial Vicar and also offering us his farewell blessing throughout the day. After the 12:30 PM Mass we will process with our Saint Aloysius statue through the streets of Pottstown. Then we will celebrate with a wonderful luncheon in the Gathering center! Really it is all about acknowledging the wonderful gifts the Lord has given us; Himself in the Eucharist, our patron, Saint Aloysius, our parish and our dear Father Francesco.
So, to the Lord, we say, “Thank you” from our hearts, souls and very being and to Father Francesco we say with hearts full of love “you are and with God’s grace ever will be…Saint Aloysius!!!!”
