Dear Parishioners & Friends:
This weekend, Susan McLoone says good-bye to the parish. Susan has served St. William's Parish with dedication and enthusiasm for the past year. As you are aware, she was invaluable to Fr. Nick Ciccone during the transition and has been a rich resource for me as I settle in. So, it is with heavy hearts that we say good-bye to her this weekend. Please assist me in saying thank you to Susan by joining us for a light reception after the Masses.
-Fr. Chris
