In Memory of Fr. Brian Costello

Dear Friends,

I am pleased and proud that Our Lady of Loretto’s mission to “Live the Gospel, Love One Another and Serve Jesus” has been on full display since the announcement of Fr. Brian’s death. The outpouring of love, support, and comfort that parishioners displayed in response to this sad event is heartwarming and has offered a great deal of encouragement for his family, the parish staff, and myself.  For this, we are deeply grateful.

Many of you have expressed an interest and wish to take part in doing something that will memorialize Fr. Brian’s legacy. To that end, the REBUILT team, will be commissioning several stained-glass windows in our church in his honor -- one of St. Therese of Lisieux, “The Little Flower,” and a second of Saint Theresa of Calcutta.

Fr. Brian throughout his life, had a deep devotion and connection to these two beautiful saints who lived their lives personifying our mission, “Live the Gospel, Love One Another and Serve Jesus.” If you wish to contribute toward the cost of these new stain glass windows, please send your donations to the parish office clearly indicating this purpose. You are welcome to contribute any amount that you feel is best for you as we honor the memory of Fr. Brian. Our hope is that every time we gaze upon the beauty of these windows, we can take comfort and peace in the knowledge that Fr. Brian is in the midst of these saints worshipping Jesus and honoring Our Lady of Loretto.

Blessings in Jesus,

 Father Tony
