Lots of Changes

08-27-2023Weekly ReflectionFr. Dan Connealy

Happy Sunday!

This week is Fr. Dan Vanyo’s last week with us. I want to thank him for his presence here these last four years. I have been grateful for his help since I arrived just two months ago. He has been very generous with his time, especially being present to the school children by offering adoration every week. This has had a tremendous impact on our school and it is in large part due to his efforts. Please keep him in prayer as he begins his time as Parochial Administrator at El Cristo Rey in the Grand Canyon. His first official day there will be this Friday, September 1. If you are able to make it there is a farewell barbecue for him Sun, Aug 27 at 4:00pm. We wish him well!

Happy Sunday!

It has been great having the school kids back from the summer. I love seeing all the families each morning at drop off and pick up. Our school is very vibrant. We have great families, great teachers, and our new principal, Mr. Sorci, has been doing a wonderful job. I believe there are some Open Houses coming up in the fall so keep an eye out for those dates.

Fr. Dan Vanyo new assignment / Assumption Holy Day

08-13-2023Weekly ReflectionFr. Dan Connealy

Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone had an excellent week. Last weekend we announced that Bishop Dolan has appointed Fr. Dan Vanyo the new Parochial Administrator at Cristo Rey parish in the Grand Canyon. His new assignment will start on September 1. I am very sorry to lose him so soon. It has been a great gift for me to work with him. He loves this parish very much but is looking forward to this new assignment. I have been told that we will receive a new priest at some point in September. We are not sure yet who this will be or when exactly he will arrive so please keep this transition in your prayers.
