that he leaves his home to make his home with another community. I know
this can be a political football regarding where the priests lives and
works. It is important that the priests live together and that the
priests work closely together with the pastoral Team. To that end Fr.
Antony and I will be living in St. Bright's Grove and having our offices
in Sacred Heart beginning in September. I hope that this can help us to
be present to both communities.
Pamela Robinson will be our faith community's financial secretary. She
will continue to be present at St. Michael's. Mary Ann Bancroft will
become the sacramental secretary for the faith community working out of
Sacred Heart. The pastoral team will have their offices at Sacred
Heart. The main floor of the rectory at Sacred Heart will be renovated
to accommodate offices for the two priests, pastoral minister and our
two youth coordinators. The second floor will become a separate
residence for visiting priests. It will be important to be present in
Bright's Grove so Fr. Antony and I will strive to make our home there
while working out the office at Sacred Heart.
