Our Parish Mission
We,
the members of the Tri-Parish Cluster of Holy Family, Saint Ann, and Saint
Casimir Churches are a welcoming faith community composed of people of different
ethnic origins, formed by word and sacrament, striving to support, sustain, and
encourage each other and all who have need of us on our pilgrimage through life
to the Kingdom of God.
Parish Profile
In
1990 Bishop Michael Murphy reassigned the priests of St. Ann, St. Casimir
and Holy Family Churches and united these three parishes under the
direction of one pastor. He appointed Rev. Robert Craig to this position
and then after one year, Rev. James T. O'Hara, another native son and
former assistant pastor of Saint Ann's, became the pastor of the
tri-parish cluster. It was a formidable task that faced Fr. O'Hara. Each
of the three parishes retained their own name, each retained its own
boundaries, its own church, rectory, and other buildings, its own
spiritual and social organizations and its own ethnic identity.
Nevertheless it was the obligation of the new pastor to preserve all of
these unique qualities in each parish and yet combine their spiritual,
financial, and material well being under his care.
Fr. O'Hara has succeeded
beautifully in all of these efforts with the help and cooperation of the loyal
and faithful members of St. Ann's, St. Casimir's and Holy Family Parishes now united
in the eastside cluster.
