This past Friday

was my final day

as the Pastoral

Assistant for

St. Anne Catholic

Church. As I pack

my old files and fill

boxes with things

I’ve accumulated over the past 17 years, I can’t help but

feel a wealth of emotions: sad yet hopeful, wistful yet

joyful, anxious yet excited, but above all, I feel thankful.

Thankful for the many people who helped me along my

path and shared their gifts with me. There is no way I can

adequately thank all those who have worked with me,

helped me and shaped me, but there are several I must

call by name.

First I want to thank God. I have never felt adequate or

deserving of the opportunity to work for the Church, but

I have never been able to say no to God.

I want to thank Fr. Schreck for inviting me to join the

parish staff. Thank you to Fr. McCarthy, Fr. Jake,

Fr. Martin, and all of the many priests I have had the

privilege of working with throughout the years. I’ve learned

so much and grown in so many ways through the example

and guidance of these good men of faith.

To the wonderful people I have worked with in the parish

office throughout the years - Bernadette Coker, Tonya

Seguin, Anne Dawahare, Frank Sacramo, Donna

Tomayko, Brian Guillot, Jennifer Sillitto, Kimberly Kaup,

Jeanie Prather, Rhonda Clippinger, Cheryl Singleton,

Selena Kirkland, Kelly Tolman, and Lynn Beck: I cannot

thank you enough for your love, support and patience over

the years.

And to all of the people I’ve worked with in the many

ministries and programs in the parish, especially those

involved in the Stewardship Council, Parish Council,

ministry leaders, those involved in the Covenant Program,

the Knights of Columbus, CCW, Sr. Margaret and Sr. Pat:

so much has happened in our parish, and continues to

happen, because of your dedication, service, love and

diligence.

One thing I’ve heard and have always believed: you

cannot out-give God. Working here at this wonderful

parish with so many amazing people, is living proof of

that. You have been God’s gift in my life. And I thank you

and I thank God for that gift. God bless you.

With much love and gratitude,

Margo Truett

collecting the little tabs you pull to open soda, soup or

other aluminum cans. The funds generated from

recycling these aluminum gems help offset the House's
