Dear People of St. Theresa’s Parish,

  On Tuesday, July 1, Bishop McManus’ appointment for me to pastor Saint Theresa’s Parish became effective. I visited the chancellor, Monsignor Thomas Sullivan, to produce the required signatures and provide the chancery with some vital information about Saint Theresa’s Parish that was missing there. Monsignor Sullivan produced the documents that the bank requires for care of the financial goods of the parish.

   Thank you for the warm welcome I received on Sunday at the picnic and the welcomes that I received all week long. It’s a pleasure to be among you again.

  Thank you to the staff and good people of Saint Theresa’s who cleaned and tidied the facilities. Your work made my move much easier.

  Thank you to the people who helped me move my personal property. Unlike Monsignor Moroney who has an abundance of stuff, I was much happier moving the smaller load. Your help let me concentrate on putting clothes and equipment away.

  I look forward to God’s grace under the patronage of Saint Theresa to flow among the people of the parish.

   Fr. Paul Bomba
