Welcome, Fr. Boie!! 

Dear St. Patrick Parishioners,

      As I prepare to join your parish community as your new Parochial Vicar, I

come with a mixture of emotions. To be

honest, I am still preparing myself for this

new assignment and do not yet feel completely ready for all that lies ahead. 

Yet, I trust that God, who calls us to new journeys, will provide the grace needed for this new chapter of ministry.

    There is still a certain sadness in my heart as I leave the parish that I have served and learned to love deeply. Over the

years, it became more than a community of faithful believers—

it became a family. Saying goodbye is never easy when so

many memories, friendships, and shared experiences have become part of one's life.

     At the same time, I look forward with hope and excitement

to becoming part of your parish family. I am eager to learn

about your traditions, your stories, your dreams, and the many

ways God is at work in your community. I come not as a

stranger, but as a fellow pilgrim in faith, ready to walk with you

and grow with you.

     My prayer is that together we may continue to build a parish

marked by unity, peace, harmony, and a deep love for Christ

and His Church. I hope to work alongside all of you—parish

staff, ministry leaders, volunteers, families, youth, and seniors—as we strive to make our parish a welcoming home for

all.

       I have always been inspired by the dedication of parish volunteers who generously offer their time, talents, and treasures

for the good of the Church. Many of you make personal sacrifices, even financial ones, to support parish ministries and activities. Your generosity is a beautiful witness of faith and stewardship, and I look forward to experiencing that same spirit of

enthusiasm and commitment among you.

      Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for this transition. Be assured of my prayers for all of you as well. May the

Lord bless our journey together, and may we continue to grow

as one family in faith, hope, and love.

     I look forward to meeting each of you soon.

In Christ,

Fr. Boie

Parochial Vicar
