A Going Away Gathering

"Friends of Fr. Sarkies" is organizing a surprise going-away party for Fr. Sarkies as he leaves the Seattle area for his new home in Arizona. We are asking, his friends here in Seattle, for help in sending him off in a show of love and support.

The date is Sunday, November 19 from 1 to 4PM at the Delridge Community Center, 4501 Delridge Way SW, Seattle. A map can be found here.

We expect Father to be arriving at 1:15PM (he thinks he is attending a party for someone else). So, if you would like to witness the surprise, please arrive at the community center by 1:05PM. Otherwise, please feel free to come anytime. The open house will last until 4PM. There will be light appetizers, soft drinks, coffee and tea.

There will also be a donation basket for anyone interested in contributing a monetary gift to Father Sarkies. As all of us well know, the riches of priesthood is not material. Retired priests live on very fixed and limited incomes.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may have been missed. Please be sensitive that some members of the parish may not approve of such a celebration. We do not want to offend anyone.

We hope you can join us.
