The Spanish community of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Parish in Northfield hosted a multicultural bienvenida at the beginning of the month, featuring foods from around the world that represent the diversity of the parish.
During the celebration, parishioners welcomed their new administrator, Father Thanh Q. Pham. There was also dancing and live music – including a performance by Father Franklin Opara, MSSCC, part-time parochial vicar. Images of the Blessed Virgin from different countries sat on tables around the room. Father Pham noted one theme of his teachings as parish administrator will be “Amor, Paz, Misericordia and Bondad” – the virtues of Love, Peace, Mercy and Kindness.
