Dear Friend,
This week we have two important announcements. First and maybe we should say "finally" (at least within the week) the Cubs have returned to the rightful place of first place in the division! You may have already known that, but it is good to see the neighborhood baseball team perform on an extended winning streak!
Secondly, and with both gratitude for service and sadness in the anticipated parting, we pass along the news that
Chris O'Malley, our parish office manager for over 14 years, has decided to retire in the coming weeks/months. There is no specific date assigned to this retirement as she has committed to remain as our office manager until a replacement can be found, which we have only begun in light of her announcement.
Chris has been instrumental in the success of Saint Andrew Parish over the years. She always greeted visitors with a smile and kept callers connected and emails sent to the right person. She helped the parish navigate the COVID pandemic and worked hard through both health and infirmity. We will miss her ever-kind presence and wish her well in retirement (but not just yet). Please be sure to send her a word of thanks and gratitude when you have a moment.
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
