In Fr. Justin’s announcement to the Parish regarding our new church initiative, he spoke to the need for various committees and requesting those with interest, time, and special talent to contact him.  His first priority was the forming of a Building Committee. Fr. established a small interview team to assist with the final selection of this Committee.

Justin to bring his vision of our new church to fruition.  (In addition to the member bios below, the Committee also includes Chery Lutz, Committee Secretary and Pastoral Council Chair, Myron Lutz, Parish Facilities Manager and Vicky Shelley, Parish Business Manager)
