Praise be Jesus Christ! May the peace of Christ be in your souls and family. I am delighted to introduce myself as your new Associate Pastor, Fr. Samuel Inameti. I hail from Nigeria and was ordained four years ago for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. My previous parish was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and I feel honored to be here with you at Holy Name of Jesus Parish.
I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the hard work and dedication that you have put into this community. To Father Michael Henning and the Pastoral Leadership Team, I have no doubt that your passion and commitment have contributed to molding this foundation into what it is today. As I join this family of Jesus, I am eager to worship and serve alongside you, building further upon the foundation that has been laid down.
Together, we shall work as one family, towards our common goal - the greater glory of God and the salvation of all. Our collaboration will enable us to achieve great things and have a positive impact on those we serve.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, "there's something I can do that you cannot do and there's something you can do that I cannot do. But together, we can do something beautiful for Jesus Christ." Let us keep this in mind as we grow Steadfast in Faith, and move Forward in Hope in our journey together.
I am excited to get to know each and every one of you and work with you to fulfill our mission as a Parish Community. We shall continue moving forward, brothers and sisters in Christ, striving to do something beautiful for our Lord. May the Almighty bless you all!
