Pastoral Staff

• The Administrative Assistant performs the duties of a Parish Secretary, but more importantly, offers administrative support to the Pastor as well as the many daily activities normally associated with the efficient functioning of a well-organized parish.

• The Director of Faith Formation gives leadership to our formation program for children, ages 6 to 14. The Director plays a key role in our partnership with families by providing teacher formation, organizing our many faceted offerings, and communication with our parent population.

• The Director of Music provides leadership for the music ministry at the weekend liturgies. Calling forth the talent of cantor and choir member, she provides various musical groups with a selection of music that expresses the prayer of each season.

• The Financial Secretary assists the pastor in the financial administration of our parish. She maintains a record of all income and expenditures, providing a monthly summary of our financial life for the pastor, and prepares a three-month summary for our Finance Council.

• The Maintenance Director coordinates the maintenance staff, oversees the care of our buildings, and works with the administrative assistant in scheduling the use of these properties. With the Buildings and Grounds committee he creates a plan that keeps our parish properties clean and functioning
