Welcome Father Borello Feb. 7/8

He served with the Formation and Spiritual Direction staff at St. John Vianney College Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota as well as at Notre Dame in Clarendon Hills, Illinois, and Saints Peter and Paul in Naperville. Let’s give him a warm West Michigan welcome! After you’ve stopped to say hello to Father Borello, join us in Newminster Hall after the Sunday Masses for Donut Sunday.

More than 1,062 FOCUS missionaries invite college students into a relationship with Christ and His Church, while equipping them for a lifetime of Catholic evangelization. FOCUS leads the annual SEEK conferences held in locations across the country.
