Photos from Msgr. Raun's Farewell Celebration. There is no question of Monsignor Raun's impact on St. Thomas Aquinas Parish. During his time as pastor, Monsignor Raun's priestly ministry included: 5138 Baptisms, 6658 First Holy Communions, 3768 Confirmations, 1165 Weddings, and 2307 Funerals. Thank you for everything Monsignor. We wish you the best in your retirement. God be with you until we see each other again.

God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons
and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
