Dear Friends,
Last weekend it was announced by Fr. Donald McEachin, CSSp, the Provincial of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans), that Fr. John Owusu has completed his time of service at Old St. Mary’s and in our family of parishes. Fr. John was a joyful presence in our parishes and on our team of priests and we are grateful for his many gifts. Most of all, we thank Fr. John for sharing his faith and bringing us Jesus through the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist.
It was also announced that Fr. Godfrey Mgonja, who has been serving with Fr. John at Old St. Mary’s and in our family of parishes, now has primary leadership responsibilities at the parish. As is agreed upon in our priest-covenant, the priests of the family will continue to assist one another and the parishes as needed. Fr. Godfrey has been a wonderful addition to our team and we are delighted that he will continue his ministry with us here in Detroit. Additionally, Fr. Casimir Nyaki will be returning for the summer months to assist with the sacraments while he is on break from his seminary duties in Tanzania.
Entrusting us all the maternal care of our Blessed Mother, I remain,
Fr. Mario Amore
