We are so blessed to have such wonderful and orthodox priests at our parish. Our Pastor, Fr. Hart was recently honored by being invested as a Monsignor by our holy Bishop Vann.
The title “monsignor” is a papal honor recognizing a priest’s
service to the Church. Each priest is nominated for the honor by his
bishop who submits a request and biography to the Holy See.
Our holy priests give us the Sacraments.......without our holy priests, there would be no Eucharist! Being blessed with wonderful and orthodox priests gives people the gift of true Shepherds guiding their flocks home to our Heavenly Father!
As our Pastor, Monsignor Hart is a truly holy shepherd for our parish. We just adore him so! We are so blessed to have him at our church!

Here is the program from the evening
We were honored to be invited to watch our new Monsignor Hart receive the pontifical honor designating him as a monsignor during a solemn vespers service. It was amazing and beautiful
What a truly blessed opportunity for our family to share in this special evening.
Thank you, Christ Jesus for Your Holy Priests

(John 20:19-23)
"19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the
week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of
the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you.
20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:
23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."
