Parish Staffing Changes Effective July 1 - There will be several staffing changes as we approach the new fiscal year on July 1 ^st.

• Fr. Randy who will begin a 10-month residency at Stanford Hospital and Clinics in order to complete his credential to be board certified as a hospital chaplain. Fr. Randy will continue to be in residence at St. Albert the Great Rectory, and he will help us with Sunday Masses, although during the week he will be fully engaged with his residency program.

• Fr. Dat Luong has been assigned to replace Fr. Randy as our second Parochial Vicar. Fr. Dat was ordained to the priesthood on June 1st and served as a transitional deacon in our parish for the past several months.

• Sandra Pedersen will be leaving her position as Parish Secretary. Current staff, Cathy Miller, and Ronald Aranha, part-time administrative assistants will be sharing that position’s duties.

• Jean Ramacciotti will be leaving as R.C.I.A. coordinator & Human Concerns liaison. Fr. Peter will take over R.C.I.A. & Susan Olsen will be our new Human Concerns liaison.

• Mark Antonio will no longer be on staff as our Sunday Bulletin Editor. Nora Lundin will be taking up this responsibility.

• Reggie Tracy and Sarah Landers, who have worked as assistants in Catechetics and Youth Ministry will be departing. Our new Parochial Vicar, Fr. Dat will be focusing part of his time in these areas.

We are very grateful for the dedicated service of all those who will be moving on to new opportunities. Because the parish staff works so closely together, these were very difficult decisions for me to make. However, one of my key responsibilities as Pastor is one of stewardship of the parish's financial resources, and these changes, supported by our Finance Council, are required at this time.
