Thanks--and Kudos--From the Friars

From Fr. Bernard Marie Murphy, CFR:

...On behalf of all the friars here at Saint Crispin, I want to thank you and all the Parishioners for your warm welcome and gracious support.

The friars regularly conduct Parish Missions in the metro New York area. It is easy for us to gauge the "health" of a parish by the participation and response of those who attend the Mission.From the perspective of all the friars we were deeply moved and encouraged by the numbers that attended and their level of participation. You and your staff should be pleased with the community at Our Lady of Sorrows - St. Anthony.

We are also able to measure the "success" of the Mission by the number and kind of Confessions heard. Again, we were deeply touched by the sincerity, openness, and eagerness to participate in this great sacrament.

Thank you for the privilege of serving you with this Lenten Retreat. If there is any way that we may be of assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to ask.
