Worldwide Priest Day Oct. 19 at Holy Family

Dear Fathers:
 
The annual local celebration of the Worldwide Priest Day takes place this year on Friday, October 19 at Holy Family Parish in Yakima.  Unfortunately, I will be away in Rome for the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha.  However, you should have received this information in the mail.  Click here to read about the event.  My thanks to Yoyo and Martha Lucatero for planning this event.
