Thank you so much to Father Jeff Rott, our Parochial Administrator Pro-Tem, for his very kind words and support of the Community Festival in this weekend's bulletin!

Our new students made special care packages for retired priests and sisters in the Archdiocese, and we stopped by the Monastery at Villanova University where Father Reilly is the Prior (Director) and cares for the infirmed Augustinians.

Father Jeff and Father Brandt are both proud supporters of the Festival and our Parish groups and activities. We are blessed with such strong pastoral leadership.

Dear Friends in Christ,

While Father Brandt continues his recovery from surgery, Archbishop Pérez has appointed me to serve as the Parochial Administrator Pro-Tem for Saint Teresa of Calcutta Parish.

In this role, I will take on day-to-day pastoral and administrative responsibilities with the collaboration and support of the dedicated staff and councils.

Father Brandt continues to be your pastor and I know we all look forward to the day when he returns to active ministry. For now, please join me in praying for the intentions of his recovery and his good health.

As your parish priest, I am here to serve you always. May God bless you.

Sincerely,

Fr. Jeffrey Rott (Fr. Jeff)

Our Festival volunteer team is made up of dedicated families and parishioners from across our parish. In a special way, the Sunday night 6:00pm family had a blast spending time volunteering together!

A year and a half ago, on Super Bowl Sunday, I sat in this pew during our Sunday night Mass when I learned the Community Festival would be cancelled unless new volunteers offered to lead. Knowing the importance of festivals for community building and fundraising, I could not let that happen.

I didn't know what I got myself into at first, but I quickly learned we have an amazing committee who are involved in many groups across our Parish. Their many gifts, creativity, and desire to support our church community inspire me.

Now, after my second Community Festival, I find myself back in my happy place, getting ready for Mass, with a heart filled with gratitude. Thank you for supporting the Community Festival through leadership, sponsorships, donations, prayers, well wishes, volunteerism, and patronage. We could not do this without you. What an amazing weekend we had.

As Mother Teresa once said, together, we can build something beautiful for God. We sure did.

God bless, always,
Joseph Rogers
