Celebrating Three Decades Of Service

Last week parishioners and friends of the Rev Robert Weiss, pastor of St Rose of Lima Church, joined in celebrating his 30th anniversary in the priesthood. On Saturday evening, a dinner dance was held at the Inn at Ethan Allen in Danbury. A special mass was celebrated at St Rose on Sunday followed by a reception on the church lawn. In the photos, Peggy Baiad helps Father Bob with his boutonnière while Terry and Bob Cavaliere wait at the head of the reception line at the church; Margaret Weiss applauds her son; committee members who arranged the weekend celebration serenade Father Weiss with new lyrics to the tune of Mame.                                              ––Photos, Fred Dwyer
