Dear Catechists, Volunteers, and Friends,
Since I began my ministry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, I've been abundantly blessed by the support and enthusiasm of such a wonderful team of staff members, catechists, and volunteers.
You've served, and will hopefully continue to serve the families of this parish community into the future, in ways that you may not have even yet considered yet.
You may have heard at Mass, or through the bulletin, that I have news to share. My last day of ministry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish will be on Thursday, January 15th. I'm following God's call into a new ministry in a new town, in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. While I will miss this community, this new opportunity shortens and simplifies my commute, making more time for my young family.
I will continue to pray for you and your families, and the ministries of IHM, and ask for your prayers as I begin this new adventure in ministry.
In this time of transition, I ask for your prayers, and support of Marielle Carroll, as she takes on more responsibility for ministry, beyond her current areas of Youth and Young Family Ministry.
I have no doubt that the parish will continue to do great things in support of multiple generations of the faithful moving forward under Marielle's care and your support. God Bless, and thank you again for your service past and present, and for your friendship.
