This week our spotlight will focus on our dedicated team of outstanding cemetery workers. Our parish is blessed to have some of the best. St. John Vianney Parish maintains ten cemeteries from Allagash to Eagle Lake. To keep these cemeteries maintained is a full-time job and requires a lot of demanding work. Thankfully, we have some incredible cemetery workers. They are Rodney Roy, Donald Pinette, Lucien Parent, and Bruce Morneault. From preparing grave sites, to maintaining the grounds, their tireless efforts provide families with a serene and dignified resting place for their loved ones. What they do is more than “just a Job” it is a service of compassion, ensuring that each farewell is met with the respect it deserves. As a parish community we extend our deepest gratitude to all of them for their dedication, hard work, and commitment. We are truly blessed that we have you all to maintain these sacred places. Thank you, Rodney Roy, Donald Pinette, Lucien Parent, & Bruce Morneault.

We are all brothers & sisters in Jesus Christ Our Lord. We are called to love & care for one other. This week our gratitude spotlight, goes to two amazing women Malvia Landry & Patti Voisine from St. Francis.

In continuing with our gratitude spotlight, we want to spotlight Mrs. Lorie Voisine. Lorie is the high school Senior Coordinator. Her dedication and compassion to this task has helped to bridge generations and foster a deeper connection to our faith. It has had a profound impact on their lives and helps to guide them into the future.

Our parish community thrives because of the generosity & dedication of many outstanding individuals. The St. Charles Food Pantry, & its workers & helpers, are one of the many groups that make our parish thrive!
