Thank you to Cecilia Castellanos

Thank-You1Over the past 12 years, Cecilia Castellanos has worked as the parish housekeeper and cook, caring for the Paulist Fathers, the Jesuit Seminarians and diocesan clergy of our parish. As our large rectory will be closed for renovations in the coming year, in order to convert it to office space and allow the parish offices to be moved back into the rectory, Cecilia concluded her work in the rectory this past September 1, 2016. She is now working at Holy Rosary Parish. Thank you very much to Cecilia for her years of service to the parish community. Let us pray that God will bless her in her new work and for the years to come.
