Special Mass Tri-Parish

Anniversary Memorial Masses Remembering Father Linh - September 19th and 20th

As we mark the first anniversary of the death of our beloved Father Linh, we pause with grateful hearts to remember his life and priestly ministry. His gentle spirit, humility, kindness, and love for God’s people touched the lives of many.

On this anniversary, let us give thanks for the gift of Father Linh’s life and continue to pray for the repose of his soul, and for his Mom and Dad & Family. May his example of faith, humility, and love inspire us to draw closer to Christ.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Your generous support will transform the lives of others to offer dignity, hope, and healing to those most in need.

As in the past, an in-pew commitment process will take place next weekend, September 19-20. All who have not received the mailing, or have not had a chance to respond to it, will be asked to consider making a generous gift to support the ministries and services provided by Catholic Charities.

We invite you to view stories of inspiration and more information from Catholic Charities.
