“Our parishes have achieved a great deal during these last years and I am so grateful to God for all of you. Together, Saint Linus and Saint Patrick are more than a collaborative – we are a loving, caring and faith-filled community who shine God’s love every day in a multitude of ways. And, after all, that is our greatest calling as disciples of Jesus,” wrote the Catholic Pastor.

“Please know that although I will not be physically in the parishes for a time you will remain in my prayers and in my heart. I humbly ask that you also keep me in prayer,” wrote Rev. MacEwen.
