Pastoral Team
We had about 40 nominations to go through for Parish Council! We had a difficult time deciding as the nominees were all valued members of the parish, and we gave thanks for all the names that surfaced in the nomination. We’ve decided to call ourselves the “Pastoral Team” rather than the “Parish Council” to signify a different philosophy of leadership and service to the parish. I’m excited to work with this team:
Jane McLeod (President)
Thu Nguyen-Mosey
Mike Courtney
Sherry Duesing
Brigid Heiny
Chad Stevens
Sharon Dorrity
Our driving question right now is “What is the most important thing that needs to happen at St. Joseph’s in the next 6 months?”
Live Lamb-
We are looking for a lamb for the First Communion Retreat on the morning of Saturday April 23rd! If you know a shepherd who might be willing to lend us one for a few hours, it makes for a great teaching on the “Lamb of God”
