Dear parishioners, St. Mary’s families, through this message I want to let you know that I am very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to share, learn and grow among all of you. You are a beautiful community, and I thank you for all your kindness. Thank you for your patience, your prayers, your letters, your gifts… you have truly made me feel part of your family. Count on my prayers, and please, when you can, pray for me too. I will miss you… although I don’t know if I will miss winter very much. My blessing to all of you. —Fr. Simon Magana—
