JOSEPH PARISHIONERS: It is with sadness and joy that I announced my retirement at the Finance Meeting in February, effective this summer.

Chuck approached me regarding the position at St. Joseph’s Parish. I told him I would take the job, but only for two years. What a long two years!! I have enjoyed working for/with you all, but now it is time to sit back, relax and enjoy life.
