This Sunday we observe the 60th anniversary of priesthood of Fr. Walter Werbicki. Fr. Walter has endeared himself to this parish community since beginning to reside here in 1994. Although technically retired, we can all attest to his desire to be of service whenever there is a need. His passion for the gospel, outgoing personality, and seemingly boundless energy are legendary. In short, Fr. Walter has used his personal gifts fully for the service of the church. We congratulate him on this important milestone in service to God’s people. He is quick to remind us that priesthood is not for personal gain or self-promotion, but for humble service. In that vein, we commend him for giving us a very good example. We thank him most sincerely for all that he has given us over the years.
