St. John's Centennial Celebration

Dear Parishioners:
Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and encouragement you offered to me last weekend.  I depart with a true mixture of joy and sorrow, as I thank my Heavenly Father for the gift of this community of St. John's over the past three years.  I want to thank all who sent me cards, and wonderful gifts, as well as those who served at my reception.  I pray you are all blessed one-hundred fold!  Special thanks to Loretta Witkowski who organized the weekend.  To all St. John's parishioners, my enduring love and prayers.
I remain sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Michael Becker
