When I received my appointment letter that I will be assigned in this parish, I was looking forward to being in my new community which I will call home. I was excited to meet new friends and parishioners that I will be with, just like in my previous assignment. They say people come and go in your life, but the truth is, people never leave, their roles just change.
Being here in this parish will be a happy challenge for me. The warm welcome and smile that greeted when I arrived is very touching and heartwarming.
I wish to express my warm gratitude for the support and dedication that you have showed me as your new pastor. I hope that I have inspired all of you as much as you have inspired me. Rest assured of my prayers for each one of you and your families.
Let us together join hands as we journey to build St. John the Baptist Parish a strong, caring and vibrant community.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely In Christ,
Reverend Sherwin C. Monteron, Pastor
