Please accept my most gracious and heartfelt THANK YOU for the totally unexpected recognition of my and
Suzanne's tenure here at OLPH on Sunday August 30th. We were truly humbled and honored to receive your thanks, magnificent
gift, and most importantly your sentiments expressed so kindly and eloquently in the notes and letters contained within the
binder which was assembled and presented to us.
Many thanked us for selecting OLPH as the parish
to offer our service in. Oh, how I wish I was that intelligent and insightful! The office of Clergy Personnel assigned us
here, in part because the director at the time and Fr. Frank were seminary class mates. How blessed we were! It has been our
privilege and honor to serve this wonderful community that has quickly become our extended family. I thank our Lord every
day for his providence in bringing us here and giving me the joy of ministering to you and for you. The past ten years have
gone so quickly because of your generosity and love. I look forward to being in your service for years to come. Be assured
that you are in my heart and in my prayers every day.
Thank you and Gods blessings shine upon you.
Deacon
Steve Cooley

I too want to say how blessed I feel to be part of this great community. I remember when we first arrived
at OLPH, how welcoming everyone was. You made us feel so wanted and welcomed, and that feeling still lives on today.
I always remember my dad telling me that to whom much has been given much is expected, however, here I feel
I have been given so much and it is simply and humbly with gratitude and love that I give back to all of you who have been
my inspiration, and have helped me grow in faith these past ten years.
From the bottom of my heart I
say Thank you for your love and your generosity toward us.
Suzanne Cooley
