Faithful Navigator Reynolds Blackburn & Sir Knights
Dear Reynolds,
This is to inform you that Wednesday, May 9, 2007 will be my last official meeting with St. Louis Assembly #565. I have been asked by my Provincial Superior to be the pastor of St. Joseph Church in Donna, Tx. My appointment begins on Wednesday, May 30, 2007.
It has been a privilege and honor to serve the Assembly as Faithful Friar for the past year.
I will never forget all that we have shared together. It has been a special time in my life.
Again I thank you for your support, your friendship and your respect to me and your faithfulness to the Church.
May God bless each and every one. I will always remember you in my prayers. I hope that if you become a Winter Texan, (people who moved to the Rio Grande Valley for the winter) please come and see me.
I leave you with the words of St. Paul: “whatever you do in word or deed do it in the name of the Lord” (Colossians 3:17)
Yours in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Fr. Alberto T Treviño, Jr., M.S.F.
Faithful Friar
