On the 23rd we will pause for the sake of giving thanks. In my capacity as Pastor I can say that I am thankful for those who have been working so hard on the pantry-expansion project. Nick Agostinelli has spearheaded the project, dedicating a considerable amount of time and labor. Various members of the parish have stepped forward to help with the labor portion of the project. Many others have contributed financially. Contractors have been good to us. I will offer a general thank-you in this column and an effort will be made to send out individual thank-you’s in the near future. If (God forbid) your name gets somehow omitted, please forgive us. We will do our best to give credit where credit is due. So for now I will conclude by wishing you all a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving observance.
