1. Director, Diocesan Pastoral Centre Update
The following is a note from Susan Campbell for Diocesan personnel. A message for parishioners will be sent out at a later date:
Warm summer greetings to you:
Many of you may know this already, but I would like to say to all that I have resigned from my position as Director of the Diocesan Pastoral Centre effective December 31, 2013. This is something that I have been discerning and planning for over two years, but wanted to give the new Bishop time to transition with a new pastoral team before finishing here. I will be moving to Quebec City in January and am enrolled in a French immersion program there. Don’t ask me what possessed me to learn French at my age (someone recently told me I was very courageous to learn a new language after the age of 30!), but it has been an interest of mine for a long time.
I have enjoyed the 18 years of ministry in the diocese. It has been extremely challenging and rewarding. Thank you to all who have journeyed with me, and to all who I have been most blessed to serve. I offer Bishop Jensen and the pastoral team a heartfelt prayer for every grace and blessing in the coming years ahead. The ad for the new Director’s position is being posted on the website and will be published in various Catholic papers. If you know of any suitable candidates, please invite them to apply!
Peace,
Susan
