Dear Parents,
I hope you and your family are doing well as we find ourselves coping with these strange and difficult times. I wish there was a way to finish the year together, but it now seems that is not going to be possible.
Most of you know that since last spring I have been working part time as the Coordinator of the Family Faith program in order spend more time with family and friends. I will now be retiring in early June and I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life!
I began my career in Catholic ministry in 1976, right out of college, and have spent almost 44 happy years working in schools and parishes. I have enjoyed these last seven working with you and the families of St. Odilia. It is a special community and I will miss you all very much.
I am happy to announce that Jill Fink has accepted the position of Director of Missionary Discipleship here at St. Odilia, and I look forward to working with her and the staff over the next weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Many of you may remember Jill. She coordinated the Family Faith program before I came on board.
She is excited to be back and we are so happy she has returned to St. Odilia.
We will be celebrating the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation at some point the future and I will be sending you the last few lessons to complete at home.
The last home sessions for the year are below. Grades 3-5 require an online response by May 15.
It has been such a blessing working with you!
May God bless you and your family,
Brenda McLennan
