"Thanks so much for putting the effort out to bring the Regina Cleri family together.  I hope this effort is the first of many get togethers.  Unfortunately for me, I will not be able to attend.  My prayers go with you and I will remember you in my Masses during that weekend.

 

 

 

I hope there will be a remembrance of pictures sent to us.  I would appreciate that.  Also would love for a directory of addresses and phone numbers sent.  Anything I can do to help you with that?  Father Manuel Pelleteri, C.M. passed away on October 24, 2000.  Father Richard McCarthy, C.M. passed away this year.

 

I'm enclosing a recent picture of me and a bio...My ministry for the past 15 years has been on our parish mission team.  I travel most of the year all over the country, so addresses of alumni would be valuable to me.  More info of our work is on our website: www.vpmc.net.

 

You may not find there that I'm one of the chaplains for the Chicago Bears...

 

Again, thanks for your efforts...sorry I can't be there.  Have a great time...give my best to all...

 

Blessings..........
