Retirement Celebrations for Father Jim

Many of you have asked how you might be able to assist Father Jim as he retires and is granted Senior Priest status. Some of you may know that Father Jim has purchased a condominium where he will reside after June 30. His condo is fully furnished with his belongings, and he is not in need of anything for that residence.

If you would like to bless Father Jim as he retires, your prayers for good health and a blessed transition would be greatly appreciated. You are also welcome to bring cards of support this weekend or throughout the month of June sharing special memories that you hold of how his priesthood has blessed you and your family throughout the years.

Father Jim has been a blessing to our parish for over thirty years of selfless service. For those wishing to honor him with personal donations, checks payable to Father James Chelich would be welcomed.  If interested in electronic donations, please contact parishioner, Tim Allard, at 616-460-5589 for instructions.  Thank you greatly for your consideration.
