Over the summer months we have all been praying to find a new Director of Religious Education for our parish. While the Search Committee met with several candidates, ultimately we decided that as we begin the new school year Mrs. Joyce Battistin, until now the Assistant to Mary Perillo, would serve as Interim Director until such time as a new director has been appointed. Joyce has graciously and enthusiastically agreed to serve in this capacity. She will be assisted by the previous volunteers as well as have the support of all the catechists working in the program.
Additionally, Fr. Fidelis will serve in the official capacity of Chaplain of the Religious Education Program, working side by side with Joyce and the team. This appointment will provide more consistent presence of our priests with the catechists, families and students and will further distiguish our Religous Education Program in its excellence.
I and the Parish Council members would like to thank everyone who has served on the search committee and all of you for your support and dedication to the religious education of our young parishioners. We ask everyone to continue to pray that we will soon find a permanent new director.
I hope to see you all at Mass this weekend! Happy Labor Day!
