Father Missler Ordination Celebration

Dear Friends at Most Pure Heart of Mary: It is hard to believe that I am celebrating my 40th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood!!! I was privileged to be Pastor of Most Pure Heart of Mary from 1988-2001. Not only formative years for me being "A New Pastor for the First Time," but very enjoyable years with you. I would be honored and grateful if you would share this happy occasion with me and my family. On Sunday, June 10, 2018, we will celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at 10:30 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish, 414 Madison St., Port Clinton. Immediately following the Mass, the reception will be at Twin Oast Brewing, 3630 NE Catawba Rd., Port Clinton, Ohio 43452. If you plan to attend, please contact me by June 1 and inform me the number of people who may attend, either write me: Fr. John Missler, 414 Madison St., Port Clinton, Ohio 43452, or email address frjohnm@frontier.com or phone the parish 419-734-4004. Thank you.
