Dear Parishioners, This time of year, it can be easier to see the hand of God in His beauty of nature and creation. Our grounds at St. Joseph’s have been extremely beautiful this time of year and I appreciate the service of our staff and volunteers who work hard to keep our property beautiful for . This past week we had the privilege of Bishop Parkes visiting us for our celebration. I would like to congratulate our recently confirmed students and we also welcome into our those who are receiving Confirmation through the RCIA process this weekend at the 11:00 Mass: Gracie Davis, Trevor Johnson, Hayley Kehner, Holly Lewton, Brandon Miley, and Amy Watson. We are proud of you all, we rejoice with you, and we welcome you to the Catholic Faith! I am happy to announce that Connie Wyzalek will be joining our parish staff as our secretary/receptionist beginning in June, following the retirement of Cindy Zilaro. Although Connie and her husband Mark are longtime parishioners, we welcome Con- nie to this position for our parish and are thankful for her future service. We are planning a reception for Cindy, who has been with us for nearly 14 years, on Saturday, May 22 after the evening Mass. More information about the reception will come in the upcoming weeks. In addition, Dr. Gregory Hamilton has accepted the position of Organist and Director of Music and plans to start with us in late May or early June. Dr. Hamilton, interviewed and visited us a few weeks ago, and comes to us from Texas with extensive expe- rience in similar positions of music ministry. We look forward to welcoming him upon his arrival to St. Josephs. We are most thankful for Nelda Chapman’s service to St. Joseph’s over the past 25 years and we look forward to her continued presence throughout the transition and in the years to come. Nelda has been such an important part of our parish in leading us in the worship of God through music, and I anticipate she will continue to play for certain Masses in the future. As we celebrate all the many that surround us each day, let us continue on our journey ever closer to the Lord. God bless you all and have a wonderful week! Fr. Scott Winchel
