I warmly greet you with a heart full of hope and a deep connection to our shared faith. As I step into our new parish, I am excited for the journey ahead. We're not just beginning a new chapter; we're continuing the story of this special place. Our Lady of Pompeii is replete with history and a strong Catholic tradition.
Let's remember and honor the people who walked here before us. They've left their mark, and now we have the chance to add to that story. Together, we can shape the future of our parish and create something meaningful.
Amidst the endless storm of communication and messages that envelops our world, let us purposefully pause and retreat, creating a space for meditation. Within this tranquil refuge of Our Lady of Pompeii, let us discover the pure and profound delight in the gentle message of Christ's teachings. As we embrace this serenity, an opportunity unfolds before us, a chance to find the treasures of wisdom and guidance that reside within the heart of Christ’s teachings, ready to illuminate our paths and enrich our lives.
In my role as your pastor, my purpose transcends mere leadership; I am steadfastly journeying alongside each one of you.
Let us cultivate the seeds of unity, nurturing the bonds that tie us into a compassionate community.
As we embrace the diversity within our community of Our Lady of Pompeii, we discover a rich tapestry of experiences, stories, and perspectives that enrich us.
With each act of kindness, each word of encouragement, and each expression of genuine care, we fortify the structure of our community.
May our actions resonate far beyond the walls of our church, leaving a permanent mark of love, unity, and unwavering support on the heart of other people we meet.
The story we're writing is a joint effort. It shows our dedication, potential, and respect for the divine. With humility and purpose, I'm honored to be your pastor. Let's move forward hand in hand, creating a story filled with hope, strength, and positive change.
Looking forward with gratitude,
In the migrante Christ,
Father Jefferson Orlando Bariviera. C.S.
