PASTOR’S CORNER (updated 2024-11-15) HONORING OUR VETERANS. This past Wednesday our school and friends gathered to salute and thank our Veterans as we celebrated them as a nation on Monday. Our goal is to help shape today’s students into tomorrow’s patriots and support the great and “lively experiment” that our nation has been since its very beginning. Many thanks to chaplain CH (Lt. Col.) Timothy Bourquin, the full-time Support Chaplain for Rhode Island National Guard for his presence with us and his inspiring and instructive words to our students and guests. Chaplain Bourquin is a rare find in the chaplain corps since he is “jump qualified” and wears the patch of a parachute on his uniform since he is trained to jump from planes and helicopters into the front lines of conflict to bring the message of the gospel that he serves so well. Our thanks as well to Bryan Barrette and our school’s children’s choir for the patriotic songs that they inspired us with at the prayer service. As always, our gratitude to school principal Mr. Irving and the entire faculty and staff in helping make this day memorable and honorable for our Vets–both living and deceased. May God bless our veterans now and always!
BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER. If you had a chance to stop by our annual parish bazaar last Saturday at Hendricken then you saw it! The big crowds all day long flowing through the impressive displays of gifts, raffles and great food. Our thanks to Jeff, the Hendricken chef, his staff, and to all those who worked so hard for so many months to make it such a geat day. Many thanks also to Patti Lou Davis and the school choir for the array of Christmas songs and to Bryan Barrette for his musical talents. Congratulations to our raffle winners: $1,000 Anna Long; $500 Kerri Holland; $300 Peter Mair; $200 Richard Delcarpini. The raffle alone raised $14,000 from that one day and from the many months of work the total income was $27,213. This is the most ever raised! Thank you to all who bought tickets and items and helped make this, once again, an historic event for St. Kevin Parish and school. —Have a great week and God bless, Fr. Bob Marciano
