This Wednesday, as we celebrate the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, His Excellency, Bishop O'Connell will issue his decisions regarding the future structure of our diocesan parishes. The fruit of the process "Faith in Our Future," these decisions will guide us in the years ahead as we face the challenges we shall confront in our pastoral ministry.
I am so grateful for the dedicated work, the long hours of discussion and discernment of our parish core team: Deacon Kevin O'Boyle, Leonard Commini, Amanda Baranowski, and Lea Novak. Their work completed, the work of "Faith in Our Future" will pass now to an "Implementation Committee." I am grateful that our pastoral council has agreed to take on this role.
