Letter From Father Antone Lynch, S.T.
Di'iir members of the parish family:
May the grace and peace of the Holy Spirit be with us foreuer!
It is a joy to be your pastor, especially at this time in the history of our parish. The blessing and re-dedication of our church to the honor and glory of God, and under the special protection of Mary, Our Lady of the Annunciation, is a time of gratitude and thanksgiving for all that has been done and will be done in Annunciation Parish.
The participation of our parish family from Diamondhead, Kiln, Jourdan River, Fenton and Rocky Hill, either through monetary donations or ‘hardwork’ is evidence of our parish being truly a ‘family.’ To all of you, I offer my gratitude and thanks. As we now go forward into our future, let us continue to bless and thank our God and one another for the gift of our holy faith; for all those of our parish who have inspired us and who now share the glory of eternity. Jesus Christ, The Risen Lord, is truly our cause for joy and celebration.
In the Most Holy Trinity,
Father Antone J. Lynch, S.T. Pastor
