It is with tremendous gratitude that the clergy, staff, and parishioners of All Saints wish to express our most heartfelt congratulations and well-wishes to Dozie Bowen who has announced that she will be retiring at the end of June as Elementary Faith Formation Coordinator after 37 incredible years.
Thousands of parish children have been personally welcomed by “Miss Dozie” to Parish School of Religion classes and Vacation Bible School weeks. They have been lovingly prepared for, shepherded and coached through First Penances, First Communions, Nativity pageants, and May Crownings by Dozie and the scores of her equally devoted teachers, assistants, and volunteers. The warmth of her greetings put instant smiles on many a young face over the years. Her commitment to the youth of the parish will long be remembered and appreciated. Enjoy a well-earned retirement, Dozie!
All are invited on Sunday, July 20 as we host receptions after the 12:15pm and 5pm masses in honor of Dozie!
