Congratulations on 7 years of faithful service, Fr. Braxton Necaise! May God continue to guide and bless you as you lead others closer to Him.

Over the years, Fr. Brax has shared Christ’s love through the sacraments, inspired us through his preaching, celebrated our joys, walked with us through our challenges, and helped strengthen our faith. His kindness, humor, and servant heart have touched countless lives.

Please join us in thanking Fr. Braxton for his faithful “yes” to God’s call and in praying for many continued blessings in his priesthood.

Dear Parishioners,

As many of you know, this year I celebrate 20 years of priesthood as well as my 50th birthday. One of my longtime dreams has been to make the Camino pilgrimage in Spain as a special time of prayer, thanksgiving, renewal, and reflection.

God willing, I will be leaving on June 1 and returning on July 16. I humbly ask for your prayers during this spiritual journey. Please know that I will be keeping all of you and our parish family in my prayers each day along the way.

Thank you for your love, support, kindness, and prayers throughout the years. I am truly grateful and blessed to serve as your pastor and to be part of this wonderful parish family.

As you all know, Fr. Braxton will soon be leaving our parish for his new assignment. We thank him for his service to our parish family and assure him of our prayers and support as he begins this new chapter in his priesthood.

During my absence, Fr. Ward will be assisting with the celebration of Masses and sacramental needs of the parish.

May God bless you all,
Fr. Satish
