Thanks to Mel Guthro's Faithful Service

Thanks to Mel Guthro's Faithful Service.

Last weekend marked the end of an era: it was the last week that Mel Guthro served as head of the collection counting teams. He has earned the trust of many pastors (including this one) during twenty-five years in this ministry, in many of which his wife Mary also participated. They have been long-time, active members of St. Mary Parish, serving at parish dinner events and in many other ways.

The people of St. Mary Parish and the Pastoral Team wish to thank Mel for his strong commitment to leading this ministry and abundant generosity with his time. Without dedicated parishioners like Mel, Mary and many others, the parish would screech to a halt; but with many people sharing their gifts of time and talent our parish is much stronger!

Thanks also to other collection counters who have stepped forward to share leadership of the counting process. -
