Dear Bishop Martino,

 

I am aware that you have your doctorate degree in church history, and I thought you might enjoy the enclosed DVD to acquaint you with some local church history.  This highlights some of the accomplishments of the first pastor of our Sacred Heart of Jesus parish.  Also enclosed is an outline summarizing some additional achievements, and the recognition bestowed upon Reverend Josef Murgas.

 

You may also be interested in the significant article on Father Murgas in the book entitled “Envisioning Faith: The Pictorial History of the Diocese of Scranton”, written by James B. Earley, editor of The Catholic Light.  This book commemorates the 125th Anniversary of the Diocese of Scranton.  I hope you find this informative and entertaining.  Please feel free to contact me should you desire any additional information.

 

Sincerely yours in Christ,

 

 

 

 

Noreen W. Foti
