What an unforgettable evening we had on Saturday as we came together as a parish family to honor and celebrate Father Tom's incredible 50 years of service to the priesthood! 🙏
Father Tom led a beautiful 5 PM Mass, and afterward, the Parish Hall was filled with love, laughter, and heartfelt congratulations as we gathered for a parish-wide celebration. It was truly heartwarming to see so many members of our community come together to show their appreciation for our beloved pastor emeritus. 💒
A special thank you to the Knights of Columbus and their wives for cooking up an amazing dinner spread that had everyone's taste buds dancing with delight! From pulled pork to avocado and shrimp toast to their famous ham and cheese sliders, every bite was filled with love and gratitude. 🍴❤️
As we exchanged gifts, signed congratulatory cards, and took pictures with Father Tom, the joy and camaraderie in the room were palpable. It was a night filled with cherished memories that we will carry in our hearts forever. 💖
We are incredibly grateful to this community for their love, support, and unwavering dedication to Father Tom and our parish. Together, we have created a family rooted in faith, love, and compassion, and for that, we are eternally grateful. 🌟
A special shoutout to John S. for capturing these precious moments with his camera. Thank you for helping us preserve the memories of this special evening! 📸
Father Tom, your dedication, wisdom, and unwavering faith have touched the lives of countless individuals, and we are blessed to have you as our shepherd. Here's to 50 years of faithful service, and many more to come! 🎉🙌
With love and gratitude,
[Your Parish Name] Family ❤️
