"At our Masses this past weekend, I made an announcement to the parish: Bishop Eckman has called me to Canon Law studies at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., beginning this fall, for a three-year course of study leading to the JCL (Licentiate in Canon Law, or Juris Canonici Licentiatus) degree. Therefore, in mid-July, I’ll be leaving the role of Pastor at St Mary Magdalene Parish in order to prepare for this new adventure.
Coming in to replace me will be Fr Adam Potter, who was ordained in 2016 and is currently assigned to Mary, Mother of God Parish in McKeesport. Thank you for all the ways you made my time at St Mary Magdalene a joy for me! I’m confident you’ll welcome Fr Adam with much love!"
