Dear Monsignor Connolly,

I want to confirm my support for your plan at Holy Family Church in regards to your vision for a Parish Life Director. We look forward to continuing discussions as you continue to develop this plan. You can be assured of my continued support to help in any way possible throughout the planning and selection process. I appreciate that you have kept Sr. Carol Quinlivan and the Office of Parish Life in full consultation throughout the process.

I appreciate your leadership and vision as we explore new ways to serve our parishes in the future.

With every best wish, I am

Sincerely in Him,
