The day of our Ordination, June 19, 1977 |
Today I celebrate 41 years since my ordination to the
priesthood. We just had a retreat with my classmates, and tonight we will
concelebrate Mass at my chapel here at Hilltop Gardens. I thank the Lord for
giving us all these years to minister to the people God has entrusted in our
care. We have plenty of memories as we reminisced through stories, anecdotes and
recollections which remain indelible in our minds.

I pray especially today for
the parishioners I had served over the years: St. Julian’s Malta, Holy Spirit
in New Hyde Park, NY, St. Anthony, Rocky Point, NY, Holy Family, Hicksville,
NY, St Stanislaus Kostka, Pleasant Valley, NY, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, John
Day, Oregon, St Francis de Sales Cathedral, Baker City, Oregon, St. Francis of
Assisi, Bend, Oregon, and the last two years the community of Hilltop Gardens
and Simblija Care Home in Naxxar, Malta.
Ad Multos Annos God bless you with more good health and strength to continue serving Him in your mission.
