Thank you to our Director of Faith Formation: Parish Bulletin--11-16-14


            Please join me in extending a warm thank-you to Mary Morrisseau who recently submitted her resignation as Director of Faith Formation at St. Thomas Aquinas.  She will complete her six plus years of service in formally helping lead our kids to Christ on December 22nd.  Stay tuned for a farewell party for her!
            I am personally grateful for Mary’s many years of service.  Her efforts enable us to offer programs that are solidly Catholic and have provided a sure foundation build off of in the future. 
The mark of any good leader is setting up systems that will run effectively after this leader moves on.  Above all else, Mary left us with a number of amazing Catechists.  As I continue to work with these men and women, I emphasize that being an evangelist does not require an advanced theology degree, having all the answers or being a perfect leader.  What it does require is loving Christ, building relationships with our students and being faithful to Christ’s Church.  Thanks to Mary’s invitation (and the yes offered by many) our core group of catechists will allow Christ to do some amazing things!
Moving forward, I will be hiring a part-time employee to help Jean, our catechists and I through the spring semester of faith formation.  I am hoping to hire a full-time director of faith formation next summer.  Please pray that the Lord will send the right person to continue the great work here.
God Bless!
