Fr. Charlie V. Lachowitzer, Pastor
Greetings most welcome parishioners and visitors!
As your new pastor, I enter into this Christmas Season with a joyful heart. During my installation by Archbishop Hebda back in October, I heard over and over again how the people of the parish need a pastor. My response has been, “And this pastor needs a people!”
The pandemic has disrupted so many things that we have taken for granted, like our bulletin. While we continue to develop the staff resources to have a regular bulletin, I am using a simple two-page handout to keep you informed about the life of faith here at St. Gerard’s.
This can be for many of our sisters and brothers a very difficult time of the year. Yet as a community of faith, we are encouraged to pray for one another, especially for those struggling and for those who are most in need. As you read this, say a prayer for those who need our prayers. And as you read this, know there are people you do not even know who are praying for you.
Some might say that these are dark times. Well, for people of faith, the darker the Advent, the brighter the Christmas. The light of Christ shines forth to bring his love and peace to a waiting world. May this same light of Jesus come into our lives and shine from our hearts.
I look forward over the next few months to meet as many of you as possible. Please, greet me, introduce and re-introduce yourselves before and after Mass. If you are visitors, please come again! You are always welcome here at the Church of St. Gerard Majella.
May the blessings of this Christmas Season be yours in abundance,
Fr. Charlie Lachowitzer, Pastor
A message from Pope Francis:
Let us go forth, carrying the light we have received. Let us go forth to illuminate the night that often surrounds us! We need enlightened Christians, but above all those who are light-filled, those who can touch the blindness of our brothers and sisters with tender love and with gestures and words of consolation that kindle the light of hope amid the darkness. Christians who can sow the seeds of the Gospel in the parched fields of everyday life, and bring warmth to the wastelands of suffering and poverty.
