“The annual Night of Vocation Awareness is coming up on Friday, February 13, though unfortunately it is in Columbia this year, and I know it is hard for people from here to attend. So instead we will be sending a donation of $500 in your name from our parishes. If you would be able to go and represent us, or if you would like to contribute to this very worthy support for our seminarians and vocation office, please let me know. You may contribute to cover this donation, or in addition to it, just let us know.
“Next weekend I’ll be taking a little vacation. I trust you will make Fr. Ed Doyle feel at home and welcome.”…Fr. Dave
