Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Bishop Francis DiLorenzo has appointed Fr. Michael Renninger to become Pastor of St. Mary's parish, effective immediately.
Fr. Jay Biber will return to active ministry in the diocese very soon. Fr. Biber is grateful for the support he has received from St. Mary's parishioners over the past few months. Let us continue to pray for Fr. Biber in this time of transition.
In addition to his new role as pastor of St. Mary's, the Bishop has asked Fr. Renninger to remain in his role as Vicar for Vocations for a period that could last up to 18 months. During that time of transition, three priests will be named to serve as assistant vocation directors. Since Fr. Renninger will continue to oversee the education of our seminarians, he will travel on a regular basis to the seminaries in Baltimore, Washington, Miami, and Milwaukee.
Let us pray for the St. Mary's parish community as we move forward in faith, confident that Christ the Lord is leading us with his grace! |
