Pastoral Leadership Team for our Family of Parishes

One of the directives in the Beacons of Light planning process is that pastors should name an official “Leadership Team” from among their parish staff members, to help them in the tasks of pastoral leadership. While all of the pastoral staff members help the pastors and have areas of leadership, the members of this smaller leadership team are to meet more regularly with the pastor and have some special responsibilities in directing and administrating our family of parishes.

I have recently made some decisions regarding this leadership team, and I am now pleased to announce them. As announced back in the spring, Kathy Rothschild will serve as our Director of Administration. I have now appointed our family’s Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, Mrs. Randi Hom, to be Director of Evangelization. I am appointing Fr. Ron Haft as Director of Worship. Fr. George Jacquemin and Sr. Margie Niemer will be on the team as consultants.

There are two other leadership director roles to be filled: that of Love-in-Action (Sr. Margie has been acting in this capacity) and that of Stewardship. Please pray for me and for this team, as we work together to become one as a family, and eventually, one new parish community.
