Dear parishioners,

As this chapter comes to a close, it is fitting to express grati— tude to the many who were, financially or otherwise, part of this great and wonderful stained—glass window project.

The committee worked conscientiously and in a spirit of joy, excitement and determination wanting the finished project to be a spiritual experience for all who enter the church.

Father Eloi Arsenault helped tremendously. His artistic taste was valued as we choose the theme and the designs for the win— dows. Elsie Gallant, secretary, deserves a sincere thank—you as does Lorraine Gallant for her excellence in handling all the finan— cial aspects. Father Eddie Cormier was very supportive when he joined us as pastor.

I am grateful to the parish council for granting me my request to develop this project. I consider this a gift to me.

Sister Marie Gaudet, CND, edited and translated our texts. Her expertise is rightly appreciated.

Finally I wish to recognize the Hrabi—Burden stained glass company and the Burden/Bakker stained glass for their fine work— manship and for many enjoyable consultations.

If I have one wish for you all it is that you will be richly blessed with peace and joy.

Eileen (Chiasson) Pendergast President
