Scenes from a Celebration!
Maureen Kelly’s Retirement Mass, May 18, 2008

Dear Father Kozak and St. Joseph Parishioners,

I can't begin to express the overwhelming joy I felt at the wonderful retirement mass and reception on May 18th. I wish to thank Father Kozak for the opportunity to work with him. He is the kindest and most considerate boss in the diocese. I also want to thank Father Dan for all his help and support. A thank you goes out to Deacon Jack for his kind words at the mass. Thanks to all of the staff for their support and friendship over the years. Thanks must also be given to all the wonderful people who helped put together my reception. Words fail me. God bless all of the catechists and school teachers for all that they do and have done for the children of St. Joseph. God bless all of our parents. You are doing a wonderful job of raising your kids. Most importantly, I want to thank the students of St. Joseph Parish, past and present. You have given me many hours of joy and laughter. I will miss seeing you all on a weekly basis. I will pray for all of you and remember you with great fondness. Although I won't be here on a daily basis anymore, I look forward to seeing everyone around town.

Mrs. Maureen Kelly
