1. In these days, Father Provincial informed us of the good news that Father Tomasz Grzegorzewski, from one of our Salesian provinces in Poland, will be joining our community! Father Tomasz will be ministering to our Polish Community while at the same time actively engaged in our parish life. Father has been working in Ireland for the past nine years! We welcome Father Tomasz who will be arriving on September 12th.

2. At the same time Father Provincial told us about Father Tomasz, he also announced that Father Dave Moreno is being transferred to the Provincial House in New Rochelle, Fr. Dave, while serving as Provincial Secretary, he has been living with the Port Chester Salesian Community and helping us in the parish for the past five years. While we wish Father Dave all the best, he will be greatly missed. Thank you, Father Dave!

3. With the coming of Father Tomasz, I want to take this opportunity to say a BIG THANKS to Father John Pikielski for the service he has given to our Polish community during the past year. Thank you, Father John!

4. This weekend I also want to announce the new members of our parish’s new finance committee. They are David Gemio, Deacon Michael Gizzo, Adam Rudin and Walter Quiroz—they will be joined by our Business Manager John Moran and our finance person, Michael McCarthy. I want to thank these men for their willingness to serve the parish in this most important mission. We want our new parish of St. John Bosco, to be characterized by wise and prudent stewardship in order to be able to better fulfill our mission.
