A Letter From Fr. Salanitro,
As I retire from Holy Cross Parish as Pastor, I am deeply grateful for the privilege to have served you. Your support and prayers are the reason I kept staying on as Pastor, far beyond my assigned time. I think I could have done some things better but, as Scripture says, “God chooses the imperfect to reveal his glory.” Thanks so much for the fun retirement party and all the cards and gifts. I will be staying at the rectory for awhile as I adjust to this new life of retirement.
I wish Fr. Vitalis God’s blessings as he takes on the position as Pastor of Holy Cross. He has my total confidence in caring for all of you as we all follow Christ in our lives. ~ Fr Carl Salanitro
