Dear Fellow Parishioners,
While we have all been making our Lenten journey as a parish community and small groups growing deeper in our relationship to Jesus Christ, our Pastoral Planning Team has been led by the Holy Spirit to look deeper into our parish structure and to realign ourselves as a leadership team. The Spirit has also been moving through our staff and taken over completely!
Melissa has been led to another job and will be serving with us until April 20th. She will still be active in ministry, but will be working in the health care field. We wish her well in her new position. We welcome Darlene Page and Tina Buckley in their new roles as office administrative assistants. Both, Darlene and Tina will work with Melissa during the next two weeks to learn the day to day operations of the parish.
Starting in May, Tara Corcoran will begin working in the area of Faith Formation. She will be working the with the younger people and their parents as Pam puts together a team for Vibrant Faith University. Lots of movement and blessings for us all as the Holy Spirit guides and directs our parish mission and work.
The Pastoral Planning team is full of energy and wisdom and has been such a blessing. I am so proud to witness this much dedication and attention each person has to reach out and serve all members of our community. How lucky we are to have the Holy Spirit give us so much special attention during these times of transition.
As we journey through this Holy Week I am praying a special prayer of thanksgiving for the goodness that has unfolded during this time of doors opening, new opportunities ahead, and our coming “Up from the waters!” Have a blessed Holy Week, see you in church!
Fr. Bill
