Priesthood Sunday, a Mass for parents and more

Sunday was Priesthood Sunday when we celebrated the six priests who have served as pastor of St. Paul, the large number of associate or assistants who have served the parish and our current staff of Fr. Ralph Thomas, Fr. Matt Ischay and Fr. James Berardi.

There also was a large family gathering for the Mass in memory of Anne and Paul Nauer,

And, of course, the usual get-togethers after Mass.

'Thank you' for priests
Carol Smith thanks Fr James Berardi for his 50 plus years as a priest and also thanks Fr. Matt Ischay for his many (35) years of service to the church as a priest, including 22 years as pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish in Cleveland before it was closed as a result of parish reconfiguration.
