Today I want to share with you a story. A story about a man and a vision. In 2002 a year after Monsignor Dolan arrived at St. Michael's Church, a vision was birthed in his heart. A vision to build a Holy Family Center that would bring the community together to celebrate.
A center to celebrate friendships, a center to celebrate love and a center to celebrate the bond that we all share, our belief in the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Just like many visionaries of the past his vision was met with some reservations. But through constant prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit that vision was realized this year.
On August 27, 2011 the community of St. Michael's will be able to enjoy the fruits of the hard work paved by Monsignor Dolan and all the parishoners who believed in his dream.
On August 27, 2011 we will celebrate by throwing a Filipino Party, a fiesta. For all those who have attended Filipino Parties in the past you know that Filipinos don't pull any punches when it comes to food.
The menu will include Lechon, which is a suckling pig that is roasted; Pancit which is noodles with vegetables; Lumpia which is a fried spring roll; and many more Filipino delicacies. And just like in the Gospel of John 6:5-15 where Jesus feed over 5,000 people, I'm sure there will be leftovers.
Tickets will be available after all masses up to the date of the event. I hope to see you there.
