June 6 '04 Father Gary Weisenberger
sprinkling the holy water. It
looked like the Lord was going to
give him some competition. But the
dark threatening clouds drifted by
and it never rained on father's
last official duties before father
Gary transfers to another parish,
on July 1st.
We have been truly blessed to have
have had Fr.Gary here at St.
Nicolas and our prayers follow him
to his new parish. |

Traditionally the majority of the Gig Harbor fishermen are of Kroation heritage. Many of them are members of the St.Nicolas parish |
