Dear St. Angela Merici parishioners,
After my Mass of Thanksgiving for the vocation of Priest, I was overwhelmed at the outpouring of generosity & love that I received from the Saint Angela Merici Congregation.
The Mass choir (led by the Music Director Kimberly Mouledoux) was awesome and to have Fr. Beau concelebrate with me (who has been my supervisor for my past year of internship) was a humbling and memorable experience.
To preside over my Mass of Thanksgiving with my friends and brothers, Deacons David Aaron and Nicholas Chetta and Seminarian Jorge Gomez (Master of Ceremonies) together with St. Angela Merici altar servers was a special blessing and more than I could have dreamed of or imagined.
After celebrating the 4:00 P.M. Mass, I expected to go over to the gym for a small reception, was I ever wrong! At the gym, I was honored to have blessed well over 100 parishioners and I received many cards and gifts.
A special thanks to Tammy Cardinale and ALL the Ladies of the Hospitality Committee, all the office staff, the K of C’s & Ladies of the K of C’s Auxiliary, and all those who worked behind the scenes to make the reception such a rousing success.
An incredibly sincere thank you to Kimberly Mouledoux for her gracing all of us (especially me) with the playing & heartfelt singing of the beautiful song “Ave Maria” at the close of the reception. I would also like to thank all St. Angela Merici parishioners for your generous gift of the rose colored priest chasuble and stole.
In closing I would like to again thank Fr. Beau Charbonnet for allowing me to celebrate this Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Angela Merici Parish and for his continuing support, guidance, and friendship.
God Bless You All!
Fr. Dan Dashner
