This weekend we say goodbye to Fr. Jamie as he begins a new assignment with the blessing and direction of his religious community. On behalf of all of us at St. Stephen the First Martyr Parish, I would like to thank Fr. Jamie for the generous service, friendship, and care he has shared with our parish over the years. We are grateful for the time he spent with us and for the many ways he served our community. His kindness, dedication, and priestly ministry have been a blessing to our parish. As Fr. Jamie begins this new chapter of his priestly life and ministry, we assure him of our prayers and best wishes. May God bless him with good health, happiness, and every grace as he continues to serve God's people wherever he is called. This Saturday, July 25, at 5 p.m., Fr. Jamie will celebrate Mass and the parish will host a reception afterwards to thank him and wish him well in his future endeavors. Thank you, Fr. Jamie, for your service and friendship. You will always have a home at St. Stephen’s.
