January 2022 - Message from Father Arturo Velasco
My Dear Parishioners,
On July 1st, 2010, I enjoyed my first day as your pastor. Twelve year have past since then, and on June 30th I will conclude my second term as your pastor, and will fulfill my final day of service at Our Lady of the Valley. My years here have been a wonderful time and the days have quickly flown. Like my four previous assignments, my time here has enriched my soul and has strengthened my faith. My time here has furthered affirmed my belief that God made me for this ministry, and that I can do no better than continue to serve wherever God and his Church will place me.
I do not know where will be my next assignment. In the next few months that will be determined. For now, I ask that no formal farewells be planned. Let there be no goodbyes by individuals, families, ministries, school, or parish. I simply ask you to continue to pray for me as I have prayed for you the last twelve years.
Sincerely,
Fr. Art
