I wanted to share with everyone the photo group of my first

session of Best Practices for Shared Parishes. We were
all startled having the live size picture of our Holy Father,
Pope Francis, when we first entered the classroom. I saw
much love among everyone, the sharing, the ideas and how
much everyone wants to help unite our parish family. After
all, we are all Gods children. My blessings and appreciation to each one of you!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Pedro Umaa, OFM
