Congratulations to Rev. Joseph B. Pierce, Pastor of Saint Paul Church on the 25th Anniversary of your Ordination. Thank you for your loving service to the Catholic Church. May God continue to bless you abundantly in your priestly ministry.
Loving God, be close to your servant, Father Pierce, as he follows your Son. Guide him in paths that are level and smooth. May your powerful grace make him strong in faith, joyful in hope, and fervent in love, this day and every day to come. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
