Dear Parishioners,
 
I apologize to anyone who is angry about Mass seating. We will see how this goes and make adjustments where necessary.
 
When life gets “back to normal”, one of the things that will happen is that the moratorium on rental evictions and utility cancellations will be lifted. When that happens, our local St. Vincent de Paul Society, who helps these folks, is going to be inundated with requests
for assistance. I just ask that you remember this ministry and do what you can to help, now and as the summer goes on.
 
Congratulations and God’s blessing to all of our parish graduates - college, high school, grade school and kindergarten. Certainly this has not been the “graduation season” they expected, but all their other good memories will always remain.
 
Of course, I am very sad to hear of the news of the close of Quigley. Quigley will always be deeply imbedded in my heart. I was assigned there twice, 1987-1992 full time and more recently part-time from when I came to Beaver in 2011 - until the beginning of our merger process.
It’s a fine school and has done much to build the faith in the Beaver County area and has produced outstanding graduates for over 50 years. We in Beaver County were fortunate to have had the choice of a Catholic High School for so long. Deep thanks and many blessings to all those who have worked so faithfully to help Quigley excel for so many years.
 
Coincidentally, Msgr. Thomas Quigley, for whom the school was named, was a good friend of my  first pastor as a young priest, Msgr. Michael Conroy. After his sudden death, Msgr. Quigley’s books were given to Conroy. Years later, I would carry them ALL to Monsignor Conroy’s retirement home. Little did I know, then, how important the name and legacy of Msgr. Thomas Quigley would become in my life. God is good.
 
Fr. Bob
