Dear Parishioners,
I write to inform you of the sad news that due to budget constraints and financial concerns we are ending the role of the Pastoral Associate. Sadly, this means that Margo is leaving the parish staff. It is a very difficult decision and comes after prayer and discussion with the archdiocesan financial services office, the human resources department, and consultation with priests and administrators across the archdiocese who are also facing budget concerns this year.
The parish is slowly recovering from the effects of the pandemic, but with a reduced amount of parishioners, escalating operating costs, and less outside revenue, the decision became clearer, but not easier.
We need to be grateful to God for the gift and gifts that Margo brought to the parish. I hope you will join me in praying in thanksgiving for her time, her ministry and pastoral presence, teaching and witnessing to our faith in all the programs, events, and personal dialogues. Please join me in praying for the ongoing growth of the parish and for Margo and all that the Lord has in store for the parish and her.
I wish you a blessed Holy Week.
Fr. Murray
