For those of you who were not able to join us for Fr. Brian Eilers' farewell dinner on July 8, you may not know that the Catholic 20-Somethings Ministry was able to present him with a $140 gift card to Academy Sports and Outdoors, due to the generosity of our members!  We took him out to dinner at Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q where we thanked him for his support and spiritual direction of our ministry during his time as associate pastor at St. Theresa Catholic Church. 

Today I received in the mail a thank you note from him, which I'd like to share with everyone:

 "Dear 20-somethings,

Praised be Jesus Christ!  Thank you for your card and generous gift.  I love outdoors, so Acadmy is perfect.  Thank you for your faithful love for Jesus and his Church.  May God continue to bless others through you.

WIth love in Christ,

Fr. Brian Eilers"
