To the family of our beloved Pastor Mike Olivero:
Please accept our condolences on the passing o Father Mike. All of his parishioners will surely miss him. The news of his passing was shocking to hear at 4:30 p.m Mass on Saturday.He has been in our prayers especially most recently. We attended his last mass with the Bishop and all of his faithful parishioners. He gave the best Homilies ever!! We looked forward to him explaining each of the readings to make sure everyone understood them. He had such a warm smile and warm heart. Our Heavenly Father now has this wonderful soul to serve him.
Father Mike will do a superb job. We will keep Him in our prayers and we know he will keep us in his prayers as well. Our Lord has surely given him a very special dwelling place, close to Him we're sure. We consider our selves very fortunate to have know this Very Special Soul. RIP Father Mike.
