As I reflect on my first month here with you, I am filled with profound gratitude for the warm and generous welcome I have received. Unlike Moses in the desert in our first reading this Sunday, walking with you has been a journey marked not by hardship but by the kindness and support of our dedicated staff and each of you. In meeting with some of the staff, ministries and groups, I have experienced your openness and encouragement making this transition a joyful experience, and I am deeply appreciative of your support. It is heartening to witness the vibrant spirit of our community and the eagerness with which you embrace our shared mission. As we move forward together, I look forward with great anticipation to continuing our journey in faith. I am excited to share with you the Bread of Life—the teachings and sacramental graces that nourish our souls and draw us closer to Christ. Thank you for your unwavering support and for making me feel so at home. Together, let us continue to grow in faith and deepen our connection to the Divine as we walk this path side by side.
