Transitions

Deacon Frank Mascarello was ordained 31 years ago. In November he will turn 78.Though he is continuing his duties as a chaplain at Methodist Hospital, he has discerned that it is time to take himself off the regular schedule for Masses starting in November. He has however agree to fill in when needed. Ironically, the first time he is filling in is this weekend.

Glenda joined us over 2 1/2 years ago working in the parish office with Judy. On Monday she begins her new job as a Social Worker for the Nebraska Children's Society. Today is her last day with us.

On Wednesday the staff feasted with Glenda and wished her well in her new position.

We hope and expect to see still see Glenda and Dcn Mascarello around the parish.

Diaconate Anniversaries

Last night the diaconate community of the Omaha Archdiocese celebrated deacons who have hit significant anniversaries of diaconate service. Above is a picture of the attending couples who have served for 30 years (and Archbishop Lucas).
 

Dcn Frank and Judy Mascarello were on hand as it has been 30 years since Frank's ordination.

It has already been ten years since Dcn Russ Perry's ordination as he and Patty enjoyed the evening.

Dcn Eldon and Judy Lauber were unable to attend last night, but it has now been twenty years since his ordination.

Congratulations!
