As was announced at all Masses last week, I want to share with those who were not present news of my retirement. It is with mixed feelings that I announce that Cardinal Gregory has accepted my request to retire within this my 70th year. Although I share this news with you now, the effective date will be in the summer at the regular time for priest transfers (which will be July 6). It is important that I tell you this at this time as the search for a successor will soon be underway. It has been a great honor to serve the people in this my home parish for almost five years. Blessed Sacrament has been and always will be an important part of my spiritual heritage.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Bill Foley
