This was a very special day for many reasons.
Besides celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit, our parish community had more to be thankful for:

Gladys and her son Jared were received in the catechumate

And Father Michael started officially serving as the new rector of our parish.
After several years, Father John stepped down, but is still attached to Saint Innocent and will keep serving our community.
