Dear Leader who works with Ethnic Communities,
Thank you for all you did for the Catholic Family Festival. This will not be the only thank you.
Take a look at the three slideshows. Please send them out to anyone you wish. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do with them.
"With the following slideshows, I want to share with you the excitement and joy of the Catholic Family Festival that took place at Malden Catholic High School on June 25, 2011. Over 1400 people took part in the Family Festival with representation of people from over thirty countries. There are three slideshows. The first slideshow is from the Mass with Cardinal Sean and was set to the opening song of the Mass. The second slideshow is from the Cultural Gala which featured dance and drama groups from the various ethnic communities. The final slideshow is miscellaneous pictures with mostly behind the scenes stuff. The Family Festival gave special honor this year to the Life of Blessed John Paul II. I am most grateful to the good work of the Cultural Diversity Young Adult Council, Lorna Desroses, Robert Kavanaugh, Marie Lucci, and to the many, many volunteers. Each slideshow is a few minutes long but I encourage you to watch it to see the wonderful diversity of cultures we have in the Archdiocese and the number of young people involved in these communities. It is mostly a tribute to those priests, youth leaders, dance leaders, lay ministers, Deacons, Religious men and women, and the many parishioners of these communities who work day in and day out with these communities."
I send this email out to thank you but also to make people aware of the beautiful things going on in our ethnic communities. I have been blown away over the past year. I am grateful to God!!!
Wow!!!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Michael Harrington
