Description
Dear Community Members,
We invite you to join us in celebrating and bidding farewell to Fr. Paul White, who has dedicated 12 remarkable years of service to Holy Apostles and the City of McHenry.
Fr. Paul began his journey with us in 2012 and soon after became a pivotal figure in making McHenry's St. Baldrick's event one of the biggest and most successful during its time. His leadership shone brightly during the COVID-19 pandemic, as he spearheaded the initiative for a weekly food distribution that continues to serve our community.
In collaboration with the Northwest Community Hospital and Sister Appolonia, Fr. Paul provided unwavering support and inspiration through challenging times, making weekly hospital visits to anoint the sick and offer comfort. His dedication to local first responders has been instrumental in fostering unity and combating racism in our community.
Fr. Paul's commitment to tithing has supported numerous local charitable organizations, including NAMI, Veteran's Path to Hope, Big Brothers Big Sisters, CASA, PADS, Pioneer Center, Refuge for Women, Senior Volunteer Care Network, Kids In Need, and Turning Point, among others.
As Fr. Paul prepares to embark on his next chapter, we invite you to join us in celebrating his incredible contributions and wishing him well. We will host a dinner after the 5 PM Mass on Saturday, June 8th, and enjoy cake and coffee on Sunday, June 9th, after all Masses (9 AM, 11 AM, and 1 PM).
Let us come together as a community to honor Fr. Paul's legacy and send him off in style.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Holy Apostles Parish Community
