Dear Father Kaczmarek:
Barbara Kilarjian has shared with me the wonderful news that your parish has exceeded goal in pledges for the 2022 Catholic Ministries Appeal. What a wonderful tribute to you and your parishioners during this unprecedented time ~ congratulations and many thanks.
Your support is so vital to continuing our evangelization and discipleship ministries throughout the Diocese of Rockville Centre and I am most grateful for your commitment and leadership not only to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, but to your parish and the Diocese.
Thank you again for helping us to fulfill the promise of the future and continue to promote dramatic missionary growth across Long Island. I keep you and your parishioners in my Masses and prayers.
Fraternally in Christ,
Most Reverend John 0. Barres Bishop of Rockville Centre
