1 October 2020 Memorial of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church
To IC Parishioners:
Yesterday afternoon Michele Hanson, DRE, turned in to me her resignation as DRE.
She noted that her job has become too stressful due to difficulty in finding catechists and trying to oversee a Faith Formation program in a pandemic. Thus, she stated, “I am resigning as of the conclusion of tonight's classes.”
I have accepted her resignation knowing that she gave a valiant effort these last 2.5 months to help us to prepare to reopen and resume youth Faith Formation. I am grateful for her work. She was a great assest to the parish staff.
I wish her many blessings from God bless in her future endeavors.
I met with the catechists we do have [grades K-4, 7] last evening after class to encourage them to continue their great service to the parish and to assist in finding the catechists we need.
A search for a new DRE will begin.
In the meantime, I will do my best to continue the work of Faith Formation that is very important to the mission of Christ.
Please stay tuned to the parish website under Faith Formation for updates regarding our youth Faith Formation program.
