My Dear Friends,

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the love you showed me this past Sunday. Transitions are almost

always bitter sweet. As much as I will miss you and the wonderful community we have created together, I

am also looking forward to the new experience of being the pastor of a parish with a school. I will always

remember my time in Billerica with fond memories and will always keep you in my prayers. I ask the same of

you for me. It is with faith and hope that I now entrust the pastoral leadership of the Catholic Community of

Billerica to Father Paul Aveni. I pray that together with him you will continue to grow in faith and love. May

God hold you in the palm of His hand, until we meet again.

~Father Shawn

Congratulations and God’s many blessings to the families of Riley Ann Richard
