Fr. Carlos’ Message

Mrs. Mary Laflamme!!

On this weekend, Mary will be retiring from her position as Administrator of Religious Ed here at Immaculate Heart of Mary.

On behalf of our parish family, I want to give thanks to Mary for her wonderful ministry and caring work here at IHM. It was more than 7 years of dedicated service to our CCD program. We know how much Mary loves our kids and would do anything for them. Mary leaves a profound mark on our hearts, many wonderful experiences and a great example of Christian life. All our love and good thoughts go with her.

I ask you to help me pray for Mary and her husband Bob as they begin a new journey in Tennessee.

I cordially invite you to join us on at the 9:30 am Mass to give thanks to Mary. Reception-breakfast will follow in the par-ish hall.

MARY : THANK YOU SO MUCH May you be bless always by the Good Lord

and Mother Mary with the same warmth and joy

you have given us.
