A grand thank-you to all of the people who came to Monsignor Jean-Paul Labrie’s Retirement Mass of Honor & Reception! And also, to all of those who helped both in front of & behind the scenes. With a full church, together, we gave Msgr. Labrie a beautiful farewell mass. Then afterwards, at the reception there was much fun & reminiscing. We are sure that the night’s events will be fondly remembered by all for years to come. A very special thank-you to Fr. James Plourde, for being the celebrant; to Joanne Zafonte, Kirsten Thompson & the adult choir for the outstanding liturgy music. A very special thank-you to Joanne Zafonte, Ruth Thibeault & Deacon Daniel Waston for sharing some very special memories at the reception.
