Last Sunday our Parish School of Religion hosted our Veterans Day brunch. It was an absolutely, wonderful event. We had the honor to host over one hundred and fifty guests. We are so blessed to have so many veterans in our parish that give us the example of the importance of loving God, family, and country.
I would like to thank Mitchell Fink for singing the National Anthem; Luke Wack for being the emcee; Laura Kruest for making her vision of this event a reality; all our teachers who helped in various ways; for Paul Zuzik (head chef) for planning a world class menu; our kitchen crew and retired Master Sergeant Louie Alessio USMC for planning the program to honor our veterans. I would like to especially thank all the young members of our parish who worked extremely hard with joyful hearts serving our veterans and their families.
May God continue to bless our veterans and their families. May we continue to pass on to our children the values and benefits of loving God, family, and country.
God bless America,
Deacon John Bartos
