Congratulations to Fr. Henry Shea, SJ, and Fr. Ed Casey who were ordained on June 9 (The feast of St. Columbkille!!) in New York and Scranton, respectively. As you know, they were transitional deacons with us this past year. May God continue to bless them in their priestly ministry.

Fr. James Min who has been with us for almost three years has completed his studies at Boston College for his Masters Degree in Sacred Scripture. He will be leaving us at the end of June to return to China to teach Chinese seminarians. We wish him well in his apostolate and are thankful for his calm and warm presence with us.

Another priest from China, Fr. Peter Song, will be joining us on June 23 as a priest in residence who is also studying at Boston College for a Masters Degree in Ethics. In college in China, he majored in English and taught it for several years. We look forward to his presence with us.

This weekend, we formally say goodbye to Fr. Succès. As you have read in our recent bulletins, he is transferring to Sacred Heart Parish in Roslindale. We appreciate his ministry among us, particularly with the Spanish speaking community. He will be missed. Fr. Succes will have his final weekend Mass at our parish this Sunday, June 3, at 12:45pm after which there will be a reception for him in the school. All are invited to attend. We wish him well in his new assignment and welcome him back to St. Col’s whenever the opportunity may present itself.
