Dear Members of St. Margaret Shrine, I would like to thank all the priests who helped me during the two weeks I was away. Their availability to celebrate the masses at the Shrine allowed me to go to visit my relatives. I would like to thank also the deacons of the Shrine for doing some of the duties that I usualy do. In the weeks ahead we are going to pray the prayer of St.

Michael the Archangel at the end of each mass at the request of Bishop Frank Caggiano, who asked all the faithful to pray for the Catholic Church during this difficult time. May the intercession of St. Michael help our Church to renew and purify herself that she may be able to fulfill her mission of evangelization. I hope to see you at the Shrine.
