For the past two months, we have been going through a lengthy process to identify a new Minister of Music for our parish. The committee met many times to narrow the field of candidates. I want to thank the search committee, Trish Joyce, Liz Nowik, Donna Fico, Patricia Ruggles, Fr. Michael, and the choir for their help in this process. Special thanks to Trish Joyce for acting as our interim Director of Music. She did this with professionalism, diligence, and great care!
I am happy to welcome Mr. Paul Carroll to our parish as our new Minister of Music. His tentative start date is January 5th, 2023.
