With Open Arms
and Joyful Hearts!
Your Conventual Franciscan confrères, the Marytown staff and volunteers, and all the extended Marytown community welcome you, Fr. Benedict, with open arms and joyful hearts! We look forward to enjoying the fruits of your priestly wisdom and pastoral experience, as well as the gifts and creativity you will bring to the spiritual life and Kolbean mission of the Shrine of St. Maximilian. We offer you the support of our prayers and good will; and we ask Our Lady to pour out upon you every grace and blessing as you embrace this new challenge as Guardian and Rector of Marytown. May she intercede for you before our Eucharistic Lord that He send the Holy Spirit to guide you in all your responsibilities and decisions. May the years ahead be counted among the happiest and most fulfilling you will know.
God bless you!
