Back in April we introduced a column called “From the Pastor,” which was to highlight visits to the parishioners in our community which could no longer access the Mass on their own. Mother Time has gotten the best of this practice, but I am back, here are recent photos from a recent visit to the Millview Nursing Home in which some of our parishioners are currently living! I will continue to pursue this ministry for not only the enjoyment it brings to the parishioners but to my ministry as well. C o n c e t t a C a r e y h a s b e e n accompanying me on these visits and hopefully will continue to do so! If you have anyone in mind that would enjoy a visit, please either notify the office with all the details or call me at 518-813-5090!
