What a blessed year it has been! We are beyond grateful for our two wonderful missionaries, John (left) and Caleb (right), who completed the program last Thursday. Donna Heid (center) presented them with certificates to mark the completion of their missionary year. John will be joining the Conventual Franciscans in Chicago, while Caleb will enter seminary for the diocese of Columbus. Please keep these two men in your prayers as they pursue their vocations.

Last Thursday we celebrated the retirement of Fr. Paul Macke, SJ. On behalf of the JSC, Executive Director Stephen Poat presented him with a brick to honor his 9 years of faithful service. It will be placed in our Jesuit Brick Patio. Thank you, Fr. Paul, for all the wonderful things you have done and for all the people you have inspired while at JSC.

by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
