The Collaborative is called off
The collaborative that we’ve been planning and praying for has been called off. Surprisingly, the Archdiocese has told us there will not be a collaborative. St. Cecilia’s will have it’s own pastor, Fr. Ren Tocci, and Fr. Cannon will continue at St. John’s.
Let us keep praying for our faithful pastor as he continues to give us the Sacraments. Also, we pray for Fr. Cornell as he retires, and for Fr. Tocci as he assumes responsibility as St. Cecilia’s new pastor.
May God give our Archdiocese many holy priests.
