Message from Msgr. Heiar to the Parish

To the parishioners of STA,

All is well and peace be with you.  The days are moving by rapidly and the weather is beginning to change.  The snow is making its way down the mountains and the stars shine brightly on a clear night.  Many troops are moving through this location and the tempo is high.  Yet one thing never changes, and that is the look in each troop's eyes whether he or she is going downrange or reintegrating home.  The look is hard to describe, but it is telling.  Some have seen a lot while others will see more than enough.  Keep praying for the faithful men and women who are making ample sacrifice, especially as the holidays approach.  Please know that we appreciate your prayer and support.

By the Grace of God we go,

Padre
