Fr. McCabe, Associate Pastor, is moving to the south side of the Archdiocese where he will be working in a clustered parish. He'll have the opportunity to use his Spanish speaking abilities at one Mass every weekend.

New Faces in New Places
Our departing staff are leaving some BIG SHOES to fill! We give thanks to God for opening doors for their new opportunities AND for selecting the right people to move into their positions. As principal, I actively encourage teachers to consider internal changes as tackling a new grade level is both rejuvenating and challenging. As such, we have some exciting internal moves happening!
5/6 Science will be taught by Mrs. Eileen Nygard, current Gr. 2 and soon to be "MLN". Mrs. Nygard will also teach one section of 6th grade Religion.
Grade 8 Religion (formerly taught by Mrs. Spevacek) will be taught by Mrs. Carrie Berning, (7/8 Social Studies). Mrs. Aschenbeck will continue teaching Gr. 8 Religion also.
Grade 2 (2N) will be taught by Miss Elizabeth Mark, current Gr. 4 and soon to be "2M".
Grade 4 (4M) is open and posted. Many high-quality, Catholic teachers have applied!
The Reading Specialist team of Dorland and Bieberly now has a vacancy as Mrs. Dorland leaves. We have a posting up and are receiving great applications.
Parish Business Administrator, John Bonham, will depart in July and his position will be filled by Mr. Dave Ferry. Dave brings a wealth of business experience and a deep love for the parish. Dave and his wife Julie are long-time members of our parish and have sent their children to StMCS.
Associate Pastor, Fr. McCabe, will depart in June and his position will be filled by Fr. Joe Zabinski. Fr. Zabinski served as a summer deacon for our parish in 2015.
