Dear Friends,

I've been delightfully overwhelmed by your welcome to me over these past couple of years.  I am so grateful for everything everyone has done to welcome me to this beautiful island.    Thank you all so very much!  I've had the opportunity to meet so many of you.  Your warmth, kindness, hospitality, and generosity reflect the nature of St. Mary's - Our Lady of The Isle Parish.  What a blessing and a privilege it is for me to be here with you.  I look forward to growing in faith, friendship, and holiness with you over the (hopefully many) years we will be together.  Let us pray for one another.

God bless you,

Fr. John Murray
