Dear Parishioners,

On Wednesday afternoon April 27, 2022, Deacon Joe received his first priesthood assignment from Bishop Malesic. He will be going to Saint Bernadette Parish in Westlake. It is a four-year assignment.

His first Pastor is Father Philip Racco. The School Principal is Maureen Goodman. The Permanent Deacon is Mark Cunningham. It is a wonderful and active parish of 2400 families and has more than 320 children in their school.

Deacon Joe’s last weekend here at IHM as a Transitional Deacon is the weekend of May 7-8, 2022. He will then have a retreat and become ordained to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ on Saturday May 21, 2022, at 10:00am Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist.

In the pews this weekend (April 30-May1) will be a GRATITUDE envelope for anyone to use and offer your thanks and support to Deacon Joe. He was an excellent help to all. As always your generosity to him is greatly appreciated.

Many Blessings,

Father Jim
