A Word of Thanks from Fr. Murphy and Fr. O’Halloran

We would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation for all those who made today’s celebration possible.

We are very grateful to God for calling us to the religious life and the priesthood to praise and reverence him and serve his people.

We would like to thank our families for their love and support of our vocations.

We want to express our gratitude to our Jesuit brothers for their guidance, help, and companionship.

We are grateful to Fr. Raymond Fitzgerald, S.J. for hosting us, Mr. Randall Roberts for the music, and to Mr. and Mrs. Call for the food.

Finally, we are very appreciative for the prayers and support of all the members of the Jesuit community.
