A
Letter From Bishop Ignatius

Dear
Father Costello,
We
recently received your check of
$3,565.00 comprising of the
offerings of your parishioners in
response to our Missionary
Cooperation Plan 2008. We will
in turn forward a check in the
name of Mater Dolorosa Church to
the Diocese of
Banjul.
Be
assured of our gratitude to you
and your people for making this
help possible to a needy
Missionary cause. I hope that
your parishioners in turn
received a good picture of the
progress of our Church in the
developing
countries.
- Sincerely,
- Most
Reverend Ignatius C.

THANK
YOU FROM FATHER
O’DONNELL
Dear
Parishioners of Mater
Dolorosa,
Sincere
thanks to all who celebrated the
Golden Jubilee of my ordination
to the Priesthood on Saturday,
September 27, at the 5:00 p.m.
Mass.
A
special thank you to Father Brian
Costello, Father Michael
Padazinski, and Father Ed Dura,
co-concelebrants of the Mass.
Thanks also to Frances Lidwell
who coordinated the
event.
Thanks
to the choir and its director,
Angi Pasamba, and the ladies of
the Altar Society who decorated
the sanctuary.
I
am very appreciative of the
wonderful reception hosted by the
parish. The flower arrangements
and the food were superb! Thank
you to all the parishioners for
their greeting and
gifts.
It
was a milestone in my life and an
event that will always have a
special place in my memory.
May
God bless you all for making the
day so unforgettable for me.
Sincerely
and with prayers,
Father Hugh O’Donnell
