May 22, 2025 At this year’s Minister’s Evening of Reflection and Appreciation, our staff was delighted to present the third annual Generosity of Spirit Award, Given in Honor of Fr. John Sassani and Fr. John Connelly. Each year, the staff presents the award to one person from each parish—people who have served our community of faith with great generosity of spirit, just as those two wonderful priests did. The 2025 recipients are Peggy Cleary from Our Lady’s and Tim Regan from Sacred Heart! Peggy Cleary has served tirelessly for Our Lady’s for over 40 years, in youth ministry, music ministry, bereavement ministry, and coordination of the annual picnic (among others!). No matter the ministry or the task, Peggy’s kindness, commitment, and care for all shine brightly in everything she does. Tim Regan has a big voice and a bigger heart. Whether it’s taking up the Mass collection, emceeing our gatherings, setting up and breaking down for events, or creating festive display boards as the community marks various occasions, Tim is always there to serve, both “on stage” and behind the scenes.
Thank you, Peg and Tim, for all you do to serve with a generosity of spirit!
