A Spiritual Assistant!

Our Minister, Carolyn Barth, OFS, has announced that we finally have a Spiritual Assistant.

Deacon Bill Coffey, OFS, has agreed to be our Spiritual Assistant for the coming year.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Also continue to pray for all those involved in his ministry, as they hold vigils at the sites of those who have met a violent death in the greater Rochester area. We join them in interceding for those who have died, for those who are involved in these crimes and for all the family and friends whose lives have been affected in any way.  

Anyone interested in contacting Deacon Bill can email him at: wcoffey2@rochester.rr.com.
