A Letter From The Pastor
Dear Parish Family,
On this Feast of St. Joseph, we intercede for all of those who work at our parish. An important update for us to bring to St. Joseph for prayer.
Three of our part-time positions will need new people. Catherine Kidson, our Serve Coordinator; Ryan McGrath, our Communications Coordinator; and Alex Stapleton, our Youth Ministry Coordinator. All of these fabulous people are going to be moving on to other things around the middle of June or so. These are very important positions in our parish, and so we will be taking applications until April 19. Then, we will be interviewing and hopefully hiring by mid-May. Finally, we will be using the remaining time for onboarding new staff, with the hopes of beginning in the Summer. Please spread the job postings to whomever you feel might be interested in applying. May God send us the right people for this new season in our parish’s journey towards further growth and renewal. I will more elaborately thank and celebrate the three outgoing staff members at a later date, probably in early June.
For now, let us ask the Lord to bless Catherine, Ryan, and Alex as they finish out their time with us and help us to transition new people into filling their big shoes.
In Christ our Lord,
Fr. Tim
