    Our parish survey revealed that the community would like a priest who will:

 

· Be a nurturing and inclusive pastor who challenges us to grow in our Christian faith community and in our communities at large

· Be a preacher with a sense of humor who will teach us and show us God’s relevance in our lives and in our world

· Be a caring minister who is available in our moments of critical need, i.e., hospitalization or emotional crisis

· Be a capable administrator who effectively coordinates and manages the support staff as well as the leadership and lay ministers of our parish

· Be an able spiritual and Christian educator who will design and implement programs that develop and strengthen our lay persons for ongoing ministries and outreach
