Happy Mother’s Day!

Dear Friends of our Pastorate of the Visitation,

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and maternal figures in our lives. You are a blessing to all of us!

I wanted to let everyone know that Melissa Boyle has accepted a new position as a Theology teacher at Archbishop Spalding High School for this upcoming academic year. Melissa’s last day with us at St Jane Frances will be July 31st. I am very grateful for Melissa’s dedication and service to our parish and pastorate over the past five years. She will be missed.

Our pastorate is planning to fill Melissa’s position with a part-time Coordinator of Children’s Faith Formation to oversee our programs for children ages Pre K–5th Grade and a full time Youth Minister to work with our Pastorate’s Middle School, High School, and Young Adults faith formation programs in close collaboration with Tim Janiszewski from OLC. Diana Healy will be making some adjustments to her time commitments due to more constraints with family circumstances, and plans to continue offering her support to our middle school activities as her time allows.

These positions have been posted on the Archdiocesan website. We are hoping to complete the hiring process by the end of June. In the meantime, please keep our parishes and pastorate in your prayers—that the Lord will bless us with lay ministers who can continue to help us serve and evangelize our pastorate community.

God Bless,
Father Steve
