To the editor:
How nice to pick up the Catholic Messenger today and read three human interest stories about four members of our community who have devoted their lives for the betterment of our Catholic faith.
Monsignor (James) Parizek, Barb Anderson and Nancy Osborne have, in their own special way, given so much to so many over an extended period of time and how fitting the best wishes and thanks shown toward each of them. And, how appropriate for the Messenger to recognize the journey of Father John Stack and the strength of his faith during such a trying period of time.
Thanks to the Messenger for capturing the stories of these four good and faithful servants.
