A Message from the Pastor

Fr. Regis M. Farmer, D.Min.
 

Dear Friends,
      Pope Benedict has declared the Year of St. Paul from June 28, 2008 - June 29, 2009. Throughout the Church, during the year, the Church will focus its attention on the legacy of this great apostle.
      St. Paul’s letters in the New Testament are about one third of all the Christian Scriptures. The New Testament contains fourteen of his letters all addressed to the Gentile people, that is, you and me. This year’s celebration commemorates the 2,000 anniversary of his birth in what is today the country of Turkey.
      Take time this year to read the life of St. Paul or to read his New Testament letters. Become familiar with a great leader and apostle upon who’s writings we depend to know the true vision of Jesus, our Savior.
      Throughout this year, these special references will be made to St. Paul’s teachings and also, a special study of some of his work will be made. Learn more about Paul and we will learn more about Jesus.
       It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” (Paul’s letter to the Galatians 2:20) May we all be able to utter these words someday.
                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                Fr. Regis
                                                                                The Year of St. Paul
                                                                                June 2008 - June 2009
