On Saturday, November 13th, at our 5:00 pm Mass, Father Clinton will be installed as pastor. Rev. John Loughnane who is the Dean of our area will present Fr. Clinton to the parish and have him do an Oath of Fidelity as part of his responsibilities as our new pastor. He will pledge his faithfulness and obedience to the Roman Catholic Church teaching and to Bishop Peter Libasci and his successors. We join him with great joy as he begins his role as our pastor.
“You cannot love God without loving your neighbor and you cannot love your neighbor without loving God. In effect, the visible sign a Christian can show, in order to witness to his love for God to the world and to others, to his family, is the love he bears for his brothers, is the love of his people. The Commandment to love God and neighbor is the first, not because it is at the top of the list of Commandments. Jesus does not place it at the pinnacle but at the center, because it is from the heart that everything must go out and to which everything must return and refer."
