Welcome Fr. Ed!
Beginning June 30th, Fr. Ed Henning, OFM Cap will be visiting our Parish to help Fr. Stan while
Fr. Remo is on retreat. In speaking with Fr. Ed, he shared the following insights: "I really enjoy Charlotte and
the Parish of St. Thomas Aquinas. I have visited here before and I am looking forward to reacquainting myself
with all of the wonderful people I met on my last visit here in 2005."
Fr. Ed has been a priest for over 12 years.
In that time he has served in Parishes all over the U.S. and Mexico including Charlotte,
Tampa, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.
Fr. Ed is a "floating" priest whose main job is to fill-in for priests at parishes everywhere.
"I'm sort of a pinch hitter for parish priests that take vacation or go on a retreat."
Help us give Fr. Ed a warm welcome!

That’s the title of ’s new movie ad, and
it makes the essential point. God has shown his love
and respect for human beings by taking an incredible
risk, putting the very future of his project of redemption into
our hands.
He has arranged things such that the graces
he intends for mankind reach us primarily through the
seven sacraments. If men will step up and accept the
responsibility to be the channel of these graces, then the
risk will pay off, with eternal rewards. If they don’t, it simply
won’t.
