2 As Fr. Ed leaves our parish, we will miss his generosity. To those in need, he was generous with his time. He spent time counseling individuals, establishing new Polish ministries and inviting/encouraging people to participate in our parish life. We are very grateful and thankful for all that Fr. Ed has done for this parish. We remember some of the changes that have occurred in our parish during the last 11+ years. Fr. Ed s touch was present in all parts of our parish and resulted in many physical, spiritual/liturgical and fiscal/social changes. Below is a list of some of the changes. This does not minimize the efforts of the individuals/groups who implemented the changes.

3 Ksiądz Edward opuszcza naszą parafię, a nam będzie brakowało jego hojności. Dla potrzebujących znajdował zawsze czas. Poświęcał wiele czasu na indywidualne spotkania i udzielał duchowych porad. Zapoczątkował nowe inicjatywy dla polskiej wspólnoty jak również zapraszał i zachęcał ludzi do wzięcia udziału w życiu parafialnym. Sięgając pamięcią trudno nie zauważyć jakie zaszły zmiany w naszej parafii w ciągu ostatnich 11 lat. Głęboko doceniamy i jesteśmy bardzo wdzięczni za wszystko co Ks. Edward zrobił dla naszej parafii. Udział ks. Edwarda był obecny we wszystkich sferach życia naszej parafii; miał udział w wielu zmianach i ulepszeniach zaszłych w dziedzinach duchowych, liturgicznych, finansowych i dotyczących zmian ulepszeń dokonanych w budynkach naszej parafii.

Many parishes have guidelines that they give to couples when they first meet with the priest to plan their wedding. Besides the information concerning marriage preparation, paperwork and the ceremony, there are usually things that are specific to the parish; the regulations or "dos" and "don'ts," if you will. Fees are usually listed and cover the use of the church, janitorial costs, music, etc. If not, you can just ask the priest, or call the parish secretary who will probably know. She probably runs the day-today operation and is well aware of these details. In general, however, people are often willing to spend a fortune on all the glitz and glitter of a reception and forget about the wedding. People who think nothing of renting a hotel ballroom for thousands will begrudge their parish church a few dollars. I remember one couple telling me they spent $100,000 on their wedding while I recalled that they had yet to give the parish the $125 for the use of the church. Try to keep it in perspective. Err on the side of generosity. Your donation can reflect the importance and value you place on the role your faith and your church have in your marriage Liturgical Publications Inc KAROL s DELI THANK YOU 10 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Parish Community
