St Mary's Church 

Washingtonville

• Gratitude is something we can never hear enough of. I hope I set an example in expressing  it to folks. So this weekend, after everything is now “over” and CCD is starting up let me renew these words again in a more formal way to so many of the people who made these last two years a period of “a lot of winning!”
   
  Firstly, to the hundreds of parishioners (nearly 650 families) who said “Yes!” generously committing to make a dream a reality: Thank you! Your sacrifice is something that I was totally wowed by as we began this campaign, you made our church a record breaker & a model for the whole Archdiocese to look to!
   
  To Brian Manngard, who literally worked 18 hours a day the last year & a half to watch every single thing that happened here. To Standback General Contractors, Armistead Mechanical, Cirillo Architects and all of the subs who helped build the building we will learn, study, worship, socialize and serve you in: Thank you!  
   
  Thanks to Marie Temple who made sure the bills were paid and contracts signed…to Joe Haas, Alyssa Nuzzo, Diane Meroe who always kept up with the calls and “normal business” so that we could focus on the overarching projects at hand. To Jeanne Verweyveld, Sister Kathleen and Jen Edwards who did stellar work moving and adjusting to an entire new building in two weeks time.
   
  Thanks to Val and the Lambs who welcomed a new generation of “Lambs” last week into the lovely rooms with even more lovely teachers and aides.
   
  Special thanks to Father Paul too! When I was running all over planet earth this summer between South Dakota and Camp Veritas he was the “Steady Eddie” here. 
   
  As I start my 10^th year here I have a lot to be grateful to God for: His blessings, His people and His Parish here at Saint Mary’s! I love you…..All my prayers.
  Father Maurer
