During the pandemic, when there was so much uncertainty and fear, I so appreciate the church's ability to offer comfort and some sense of normalcy to us all. From the pivoting to livestream Mass, to the sight of Fr. Pat giving Communion on the sidewalk in front of the church each Sunday, and then to our wonderful Mass on the Grass, it felt like the church was right there with us, trying to navigate our way through what was going on. It's so wonderful to be back, as one, in the church now, but those memories of how Padre Serra Parish stood with all of us in those difficult days, will always be something I cherish.
