Dear Parish Family, that dastardly "Fr. Brian" is once again sending out texts to some parishioners asking for Steam gift cards for cancer patients in the hospital. This is an ongoing scam that pops up from time to time. Ask yourself this question, has Fr. Brian ever texted me? If the answer is no, which is pretty much the case, do not think your first interaction with Fr. Brian will be him texting you out of the blue. If the answer is yes, Fr. Brian has had the same telephone number since forever, since he is too lazy to have to remember a new one and change the number everywhere. So again, not Fr. Brian
