Thank you

Dear Parishioners,

I want to express my thanks for your Christmas Greetings and support at Christmas and throughout this past year.

I want to thank our altar servers for their outstanding service and faithfulness during these challenging times.

Special thanks to our sacristans Bob Le Blanc and Carol Carr, and Dan Shea our former sacristan. I want to thank Jack Madden and Flo Hainey who have served as our parish trustees for many years and have always been loyal and supportive to me and St. Peter Parish. They both retired as our trustees this past year.

I want to welcome and thank our new trustees, The Honorable Stephen Isherwood and Dr, Kathleen Bowling, for accepting my invitation to serve as our new trustees.

Thank you also to our parish auditors, Ben Algeo and Brian Cote for their outstanding support in helping with preparing and reviewing our parish financial statements.

Thank you to our Helping Hands Ministry for their dedication in serving those who need help during the holidays and throughout the year.

Thank you to the members of our altar guild, who clean our beautiful church every week.

Thank you to our Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers who proclaim the scripture readings and serve Holy Communion at our Masses. I also thank our adult servers who serve at funerals.

Thank you to our parish and school office staff, especially Mrs. Charlene Schrieber, parish Office Manager, Hans Schrieber, parish accountant, Connie Anderson and Marianne Beirne, parish office Staff and Mrs. Christine Desmarais, school Principal, Mrs. Barbara Rossi, Office Manager and Karen Hardy Office Staff. Mrs. Elaine Morisseau and Mrs. Margaret Andreozzi, Faith Formation Coordinators, Deacon Bob Morisseau, and our school and faith formation teachers for their tireless dedication in serving the people and children of our parish.

Thanks also to our music ministry, Mary O’Brien and Sue Stenhouse who direct our adult and children’s choirs respectively, and to the members of our adult and children’s choirs.

Thank you to our scout leaders who volunteer their time to run an outstanding scouting program for our children. 

I want to say thank you to Bill Young for sharing his knowledge of buildings and all things mechanical, and for keeping us on track during the pandemic and whenever there is need for help with the many problems of running a plant of this size.

Special thanks to Mary Bonneville for maintaining our beautiful parish website.

St. Peter Parish and School is truly blessed with so many wonderful people who stuff bulletins, prepare our mailings, make prayer shawls, and who pray daily for the needs of those who asked for prayers.

May God bless you now and in the coming New Year. May God who has begun the good work in you see it to completion. The parish and school family thank you as I do for helping make our parish special for so many people.

You all have a remembrance in my prayers.

In Gratitude,
Father Gagne
