Greetings Saint Augustine Parishioners:
Thank you for your very warm welcome last Sunday. I am so sorry that I will be away for these next two weeks. I had scheduled the time away last year, counting on my new status as a retired priest. As you know, that has changed. I am grateful to Father John Santone for all the ways he has organized the administration of Saint Augustine. But, for me, it is a daunting task. Although I had served as pastor of two large parishes in the last forty years, I never had to deal with some of these administrative tasks. So, in my absence, please contact Deacon Mel Tardy if you need help or have any questions. Once returned, I will have time to figure all of this out.
You are certainly in my prayers, and I am grateful for yours. Hopefully, I will return with all my limbs intact and without major travel disruptions. I am due to return on Saturday evening, February 1.
Thank you,
Fr. Bill Schooler
