With the departure of Roxanne Smith as head of our Social Justice programs the parish conducted a pretty expansive search to find someone who was willing and able to step into her shoes. We found a great young man (he is young enough to be my grandson!), Alex Blechle. Alex was from Missouri and is a recent graduate from St. John’s University near St. Cloud. During the month of June he was been working with Roxanne to get a feeling for us and our many activates. Alex brings a wealth of knowledge about Catholic Social teaching and has been involved in many ministries himself. To hire him we needed to offer him a full time job as he and his fiancée would like to start a family next year. With a new fulling employee it requires that in justice we offer him a just salary. Your commitment to our social justice programs needs to extend to supporting them and the parish in our Commitment to Parish Life program. The financial support of the parish extends to all the parish programs to ensure we employ the best people possible. Thank you for your support for Roxanne over the years, and Alex in the years to come.
Fr. Mike
