Your life of humble service, steadfast faith, and courageous leadership continues to inspire us to become faithful witnesses of Christโs love. Through your episcopal ministry, you have guided our local Church with wisdom, compassion, and a profound commitment to justice, peace, and the care of our common home.
As you celebrate these meaningful milestones, the ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ผ๐ gives thanks to God for the precious gift of your life and vocation. We pray that the Lord may continue to bless you with good health, renewed strength, and an abundance of grace as you faithfully shepherd His flock with joy, hope, and unwavering fidelity.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and St. John Mary Vianney, patron saint of priests, continue to intercede for you and accompany you in your ministry, that you may remain a courageous and compassionate shepherd after the heart of Christ.
