IMPORTANT NOTICE
Announcement:
Temporary Change in Parish Leadership During Military Deployment
Dear Parishioners,
Please be advised that I, Fr. TJ Varghese, will be on active military duty from July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025, as part of a scheduled deployment. During this time, Msgr. Raymond Bastia will serve as Parish Administrator, ensuring continuity of leadership and pastoral care.
All regularly scheduled Masses and sacraments will be faithfully celebrated by Fr. Joe Pescatello and Fr. Al Ricci, who have graciously agreed to assist our parish during my absence.
This announcement will also appear in this week’s edition of the Rhode Island Catholic newspaper as part of the official public notice.
I humbly ask for your prayers, understanding, and support during this period of service. Know that I will continue to carry each of you in prayer throughout my time away. May God bless our parish and keep us united in faith and love.
In Christ,
Farther TJ Varghese Pastor
Next weekend July 5th & 6th, at all the Masses we welcome a Sr. Alicia Alambra from the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, who will be here to speak about the work of their missions. Please be prepared to support next week’s second collection. I thank you in advance for your generosity.
Have a Good Week and God Bless,
Father Varghese
