Fr. Jim Gaynor, C.PP.S. was ordained June 3, 1967.

A priest’s anniversary of his ordination is a significant milestone that commemorates the day he dedicated his life to serving God and his community. This occasion not only honors his personal commitment and spiritual journey but also celebrates his invaluable contributions to the parish and the broader church community. Acknowledging this special day can be done in several meaningful ways. Parishioners can organize a special Mass in

his honor, followed by a communal gathering or reception to express their gratitude and appreciation. Personal notes, letters, or a commemorative book filled with messages from the congregation can also be heartfelt gestures. Additionally, presenting a token of appreciation, such as a plaque or a framed photograph of a memorable moment from his ministry, can serve as a lasting reminder of the love and support from his community.
