Thank You!

Thank you for the past 14 years here at St. Clare!

Over the years, you have thanked me for homilies that fit a particular situation you were going through, for words of wisdom, for consoling you through hard times, for the blessings, and more. Now, it’s time for

me to thank you for what you have given me.

Thank YOU for welcoming me into your parish with open arms, for welcoming me into your homes, for your love and concern for my health and wellbeing. Thank you for all your support for the many events

and major campaigns to make St. Clare the wonderful parish it is.

I am truly blessed to have been a part of your lives,

personally and spiritually. I will miss each and every-one of you and I will keep you in my prayers.

Again, thank you for everything,

Fr. Ken
