From the Pastor:         

Dear Parishioners:

At this time in my life, I am deeply grateful to God that I am a member of All Saints
Parish.

Four families, St. George, St. Rita, St. Michael and St. Joseph merged into a new family
and I see God's grace at work every day. There are many surprises of the Holy Spirit,
and I witness openness in your lives by the way you continue to respond to the Lord. Even
during times of disappointment, hurt, anger, frustration and questioning there is hope, forgive-
ness, understanding, acceptance, and love in action.

As a parish family, we continue to grow and reach out to other people in many remarkable ways. I cannot help but think of the Blessed Mother, Queen of All Saints, who did not understand everything but she continued to trust God. And there is much we do not understand, yet, like Mary we continue to turn it over to God.

I see you bringing in your goodies to fill the shelves of our food pantry; I marvel at your
generosity to our St. Vincent de Paul Society enabling them to reach out to the needy or
someone having a difficult time because of unemployment. I see your loyalty to your parish
by your presence and supporting a beautiful church and all the parish property. How
fortunate we are to have a parochial school and an excellent program of Religious Education
that nourishes and deepens the faith of our youth. And, we have a fantastic Youth Program
headed by an enthusiastic parish volunteer. There are so many wonderful programs going on in
our parish family; there is so much good taking place, at times, known only to God.

Yes, I thank God that you are a part of my life, a part, a very important part, of my faith
journey. Thank you for the way you share your faith, your hope, and your love, You are truly
special.

God love you!
Father Dennis Nason
