SAINT ANDREW
A new statue was added to our parish church for public veneration on April 21st with a dedication and blessing In Memory of Andrew Prior, a distinguished member of the Holy Name Society. The Holy Name Society of our parish, thought so much of Andrew Prior’s
love for the parish they erected this statue in his honor. St. Andrew, the first Apostle called by Christ was the older brother of St. Peter and former disciple of John the Baptist. He is mentioned several times in the Gospel. He spread the Gospel through Asia Minor and the Black Sea area. He met a martyr’s death on an “X” shaped cross which is depicted behind the saint.
