Dearest family, I have had the great privilege of serving as your pastor these past eight years. My time as your priest is now coming to its end. This July 6th, I will be beginning a new assignment as the pastor of St. Paul's in Nampa, Idaho. Fr. Ron Wekerle, a graduate of Wood River High School, will be my successor. I am excited that Fr. Wekerle is coming, as you will find him to be a dynamic, warm, and experienced priest. Let us trust God's providence in this transition. May we respond with gratitude for what God has done over these past years, and faith in the blessings that are sure to come.
