I am pleased to put before you this annual report. Many hands have been at work in preparing it, and I am grateful for all of them. Most of all, it has been God’s all-powerful right hand that has upheld us through this year and all its joys and struggles. May it inspire us to increase our generous stewardship of our parish and school family in the coming weeks, as we recall that “God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor 9:7)
