Dear Friends,
It is with thankfulness I share exciting news of where the Holy Spirit has led me. In late August, I will step into the role of Director of Vocal Music at Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. The mission of Sacred Heart Schools – to form courageous, globally-minded young women for leadership – is in direct concert with the ways God continues to call me in ministry. I’m inspired to join the seasoned faculty, empowering young women in strong social awareness, active faith, intellectual values, service, and personal growth.
I will always hold a space of deep gratitude and sacredness for my time working at St. John-St. Paul Collaborative. I have been witness to hundreds of Masses, weddings, baptisms, and funerals throughout my ten years in this role. I have led bible studies, faith sharing groups, grief accompaniment gatherings, adult faith enrichment programming, and refugee resettlement initiatives. The love of God has been shared with me through so many of my encounters with each of you. It has been the privilege of a lifetime being invited into your experience of Christ’s love.
I would ask for your prayers as I move into this new season of my ministry. Be assured of mine for each of you. And please know that while I am stepping away from my role as Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy, I am not stepping away from you or from the parishes. St. John-St. Paul Collaborative remains our family’s spiritual home, and we look forward to continuing to serve in new ways.
In Christ-
Kelly
