By now you have likely heard that our beloved Director of Religious Education, Mrs. Mary Perillo, will be retiring at the end of June. Mary is one of the most gifted teachers and leaders I have every known or worked with. Her departure will leave a large void in our pastoral team and in our program. We can only pray that God will lead a new director who is even half as talented as Mary to join us this summer. Mary has been our Director of Religious Education for the past 22 years. Through her leadership, countless children have been educated in the faith and continue to grow in love of the Lord Jesus and His Church. Additionally, our religious education program has become one of the finest and most sought after in the Archdiocese.
In appreciation for all that she has done for our parish and for our families, please save the date of Sunday, June 5th when we will celebrate a special Mass at 11am, in Sacred Heart Church, followed by a reception in Oussani Hall. Plan to be with us to thank Mary and honor her on this special day.
