The family of Father Robert L. Santa Barbara would like to thank the parishes of St Mary of

Mount Virgin and St. Theresa for your warm expressions of sympathy, support and compassion on the loss of Father Bob. We take comfort from the sympathy you have extended to our family and from the loving memories we have of him. His caring nature, great sense of humor and his deep devotion

to his faith will never be forgotten. Although he is gone from us now, our comfort will continue to grow from our faith in God. We wish you all a blessed New Year.

Memorial Fund Update

Many thanks to all of you who have so generously contributed to Father Bob’s

Memorial Fund either through the Knights of Columbus or the Parish. We now have

sufficient funds for the bronze plaque and have begun the actual preparation process. Any monies that remain after the plaque is completed and mounted, will be used to establish a scholarship fund for parish students who are entering a Catholic high school. More details will follow.

We will continue to accept donations to perpetuate this scholarship. Contributions may be made through the Knights of Columbus or to the Rev. Robert L. Santa Barbara Scholarship Fund

and the monies will be placed in this restricted fund. Mille Grazie!
