New Year with parish staff transitions and Jubilee 2025

As we are transitioning into the new year our parish staff is undergoing some significant changes. Ron Dobesh is leaving his role as Parish Administrator where has volunteered for the last 8.5 years after he retired from his medical career. I greatly appreciate Ron’s major gift to the parish through his dedicated and generous service. He was in the office, around the building and posted at the media booth for 20-30 hours every week (sometimes more). Along with a myriad of other responsibilities and accomplishments, Ron was instrumental in getting our online and live streaming ministry going during the Covid pandemic. Ron has continued to advance our digital and electronic capabilities! I have appointed Ron to be our new Parish Trustee to replace Matt Sommers who is moving away in the new year. Ron and Debbie will remain our parishioners and continue volunteering in various ministries (when they are in town, they will continue at their designated seats at the Media Booth for the Saturday night Mass.)

Daniela Morales will take on a new position we are calling Parish Operations Director and Hispanic Ministry Coordinator. This will include Ron’s former duties and more. Daniela has been our Faith Formation Secretary, while also Coordinating Liturgical Ministry.  She will continue coordinating our Safe Environment Programs and Baptismal Preparation.

Danay Velasco will continue to assist Sr. Catherine, our Pastoral Associate, with our pastoral ministry outreach. In addition, she will have the added roles of Faith Formation Secretary and Liturgical Ministry Coordinator. She will also help Daniela with Safe Environment Program. You can find the rest of our capable and helpful staff on the front page of the bulletin and on our website.

Peace in Christ from your “Local Pastor”

Fr. Joseph Hannappel

PESCANDO CON ST. JAMES

Año Nuevo con transiciones del personal parroquial y Jubileo 2025

A medida que avanzamos hacia el nuevo año, nuestro personal parroquial está experimentando algunos cambios significativos. Ron Dobesh dejará su puesto de administrador parroquial, donde trabajó como voluntario durante los últimos 8.5 años después de retirarse de su carrera médica. Aprecio enormemente el gran regalo de Ron a la parroquia a través de su dedicado y generoso servicio. Estaba en la oficina, alrededor del edificio y apostado en la cabina de medios entre 20 y 30 horas cada semana (a veces más). Junto con una gran cantidad de otras responsabilidades y logros, Ron jugó un papel decisivo para que nuestro ministerio en línea y de transmisión en vivo funcionara durante la pandemia de Covid. ¡Ron ha seguido avanzando en nuestras capacidades digitales y electrónicas! He designado a Ron como nuestro nuevo síndico parroquial para reemplazar a Matt Sommers, quien se mudará en el nuevo año. Ron y Debbie seguirán siendo nuestros feligreses y continuarán siendo voluntarios en varios ministerios (cuando estén en la ciudad, continuarán en sus asientos designados en el stand de medios para la misa del sábado por la noche).

Daniela Morales asumirá un nuevo puesto al que llamaremos Directora de Operaciones Parroquial y Coordinadora del Ministerio Hispano. Esto incluirá los deberes anteriores de Ron y más. Daniela ha sido nuestra Secretaria de Formación de Fe, al mismo tiempo que coordina el Ministerio Litúrgico.  Ella continuará coordinando nuestros Programas de Ambiente Seguro y Preparación Bautismal.

Danay Velasco continuará ayudando a Hna. Catherine, nuestra Asociada Pastoral, con nuestro ministerio pastoral. Además, tendrá las funciones adicionales de Secretaria de Formación de Fe y Coordinadora del Ministerio Litúrgico. También ayudará a Daniela con el Programa de Ambiente Seguro. Puede encontrar el resto de nuestro personal capacitado y servicial en la portada del boletín y en nuestro sitio web.

Paz en Cristo de parte de su “Pastor en localidad”

Pd. José Hannappel
