Father Marcel; Pastor. As you are aware, two years ago Father Marcel accepted a position with us as our Parochial Administer. As he got to know us, he came to know us and our commitment to each other and to the Northside. The Archdiocese asked if he would take on the job of our pastor. Father petitioned his provincial to make his position permanent. His letter from the Archdiocese made it official this week. These past two years Father has proven himself to be a wonderful liturgist as well as an experienced parish manager. We are truly blessed to have Father Marcel Okwara bring his spiritual nature and his collaborative managerial presence to our parish community. He will assume his permanent position as pastor on July first. Thank you, Father Marcel.
