September 2022
It is with sad hearts that we announce the upcoming retirement of John Richards from our parish staff. Coming out of retirement about 3 years ago to help with our Parish Operations, John was a God-send! He has helped move along several major projects within our Witness to Hope improvements and Ten-Year Plan and oversee the overall day-to-day operations of our several campuses. Working with him has been a pleasure, his contributions are appreciated, and he will be greatly missed in this role! THANK YOU, John, for your service and dedication to St. John Parish!
With this announcement, please help us spread the word that we are looking for a new Director of Parish Operations, which could be a part-time or full-time position, depending on circumstances. A brief job description is included here; please share it with potential candidates who will have a heart for maintaining and improving our parish buildings and grounds for years to come!

With the Ten-Year Plan and the restoration and beautification of St. John Church, project management will comprise a substantial part of the work.
