A warning: I will be leaving for my sabbatical at the end of this month. There are some dishonest people who send emails, text messages, and even phone calls in my name, letting you know that I am in some sort of trouble or stranded and need help. They will ask you to send gift cards or some financial help. Please do not fall victim to such requests. I WILL NOT contact any parishioner directly asking for assistance. Should I find myself in trouble or stranded, the rectory and parish office will be the first to know. Please contact the rectory or parish office if you receive any such requests.
