Thank you Fernanda! We want to honor and recognize Fernanda Powers for her 13 years of dedication as our Director of Religious Education. Fernanda has served us wonderfully in her ministry to our families and we are very grateful! She has resigned her position to focus on family and other opportunities and will be missed! Welcome Alfie! We welcome Alfie Rael to our staff to lead the Religious Education program for children and adults and also to help with liturgy and administrative duties. Alfie was on staff at Our Lady of the Valley several years ago and would often serve the Mass here at St. Mary’s, so many of you may recognize his friendly face! Welcome Alfie this first weekend of August!
