Pastoral Appointments

Bishop Fabbro announces the following pastoral appointments and changes:
Fr. Stephen Savel, currently Parish Administrator of the clustered parishes of Our Lady of Mercy and St. Benedict, including St. Joseph Church, Sarnia, will begin a leave of absence for the purpose of vocational discernment beginning February 11, 2019.  Fr. Matthew Sobierajski, C.S.M.A., is appointed Parish Administrator effective February 11, 2019.  Please pray for Fr. Savel as he begins his time away for discernment.
                                                                          
I offer our prayers and support to our priests, parish teams and parish families who will be affected by this pastoral change.  May God continue to bless our ministry to the people of our Diocese.
