Irondequoit parish bids farewell to Basilian priests

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

June 29 marked the coming together of a mutual admiration society: hundreds of parishioners, and the priests who served them for decades.

"An Evening of Thanks and Memories" took place in the St. Kateri Tekakwitha School gymnasium, with more than 350 people turning out to extend farewells and best wishes to clergy from the Congregation of St. Basil. Hugs and handshakes were in abundance — and although the gala event was mostly upbeat, expressions of sadness also were evident due to the Basilians’ longtime service in Irondequoit formally ending two days later.
