A message from our President - Karen J. Gregory
Dear Friends of the Holloway Memorial Chapel:
Holiday Greetings!
As the Holiday Season is finally upon us, I would like to express my gratitude and thanks for your support of our beloved Chapel.
To quote the words of Rev. Dr. Robert J. Perelli, who dedicated his life to serving the underserved:
- May the earth and all her beauty
awaken the wonder of the child within you.
- May you know the meaning of play
and not be embarrassed to have a good time.
- May your feet want to dance
more than they want to march.
- May your smile be contagious and come full circle.
- May your laughter echo long after you leave the room.
- May your tears make it easier for others to cry.
- May you find home and friends
where ever God asks you to be.
- May your experiences teach others
almost as much as they have taught you.
- May you live in peace because you live peacefully.
- May your friends double your joy and divide your sorrow.
- May the blessings of a generous God inspire you to do the
best you can but no more.
Amen
Rev. Dr. Robert J. Perelli, CJM (18 November 1949 – 2 August 2022)
As we have entered our 2025 Holiday Season, we, the Board of Trustees, Ad Hoc Committee Chairpersons and I, wish you a season of love, joy, and laughter in abundant and overflowing measure!
Happy, Happy and Merry, Merry!
Karen J. Gregory
President of the Holloway Memorial Chapel, 2025
