Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate Father Felipe’s 80^th birthday.  In attendance during this wonderful Saturday evening were nearly 270 parishioners of St Paul, St Charles, and churches throughout our Diocese where he faithfully served through the years of his ministry and pastoral work.

Father Felipe’s wish was to celebrate his 80^th birthday here at St Paul parish but more importantly to raise money towards the building fund thereby lowering the debt incurred for our Religious Education Center.

As he blew out the candles on his birthday cake (baked & donated by Le Pham), his enormous heart’s generous wishes became a reality.
 
Everyone helped in raising more than $8,900 gross, less the catered meal and other minor incidental expenses, netting more than $6,100 that will go towards the building fund loan.

Father Felipe realized more than his expectations, and he sends his fervent prayers for everyone who made it possible.
