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!

MISSION STATEMENT OF ST. MARY'S PARISH

WE ARE CALLED TO BE A FAITH COMMUNITY of equal, co-responsible, interdependent persons who ponder the Word continuously and seek ever maturing personal commitment to Jesus as Lord; who cultivate a deep sense of belonging and hospitality both by what we do and by how we do it; who revere the rich diversity of ministries in our midst; who consistently seek and eagerly offer reconciliation and healing; who celebrate Liturgy as the genuine summit and source of our shared life.

WE ARE SENT TO BE SERVANTS OF THE KINGDOM by reading our own lived experience and the "signs of the times" of our world in light of the Gospel; by proclaiming the call of the Gospel to today's world, both in season and out; by working for Gospel justice and peace by the choices we make and the ways we live; by sharing our gifts in service to the poor, the powerless and the alienated; by remaining attentive to the real needs of people that we may truly serve
