Fr. Mathew’s New Assignment It is with deep sadness and great joy that I listen Fr. Mathew announce his assignment change last Sunday. My heart is filled with sadness because I have come to see Fr. Mathew as a valuable and well-respected member of our parish leadership team. I know that he was appreciate by many parishioners for his pastoral care and countless other contributions to lead us all closer to Christ. We will miss Fr. Mathew’s charm, professionalism, empathy and strength. We respect Fr. Mathew’s decision to accept this new assignment from the archbishop and we pray that God will bless him in his new ministry. On behalf of all the parishioners of St. Joseph, I wish God’s many blessings upon Fr. Mathew. (Farewell celebration and other information will be forthcoming).
