We are pleased to introduce to you our new Pastoral Associate for Faith Formation John McGuire. John comes to us with extensive experience following his role as the Director of Religious Education at St. Paul Parish, Princeton, NJ for the past 8 years. Through this position, he has overseen Faith Formation Programming, recruited and mentored a team of Catechists, and formed families for the sacraments. He also worked closely with the Diocesan Director of Catechesis by serving as the President of the Trenton Religious Education Director board. From 2008 to 2011, John studied for the priesthood for the Diocese of Trenton, first at Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton Hall, and then at Theological College at the Catholic University of America. During this time, he gained a great grounding in philosophy, the sacraments, and pastoral care through various ministry assignments. We are excited to have John now on staff as of June 1st, we we encourage you all to reach out and welcome him to our parish family as you see him on campus. We look forward to his assistance in helping us strengthen and grow our parish in the years to come. Peace, Fr. Mike
