At last it's official!
The archdiocese has posted [
catholic-sf.org] these clergy appointments May 30, effective July 1.
Pastors: Fr. Kevin Kennedy, Our Lady of Fatima Church, San Francisco; ♥
Parochial vicars [formerly know as "Associate pastor"]: Fr. Kevin Kennedy, St. Thomas the Apostle Church, part time, and St. Monica Church, part time;
Fr. Kevin will be living next door to us in the rectory of St Monica's Church. For the first time in MANY years, we have a pastor, not an "administrator", assigned to us, and he'll be living next door, not 40 mins or over an hour away from us, as has been the case with our priests for many years. This is a great blessing for our tiny parish!
Also closer now than he was in Seattle Fr. Christopher Fadok, OP, St. Raymond Church, Menlo Park. (Fr Christopher served often with us when he was a deacon. He is UGCC.) The day after his ordination to the priesthood, Fr Christopher celebrated the Divine Liturgy for us at our former Lake Street church. Wonderful priest, we hope will be able to occasionally visit us.
Fr Vito Perrone, COSJ, ♥ will continue with his ministry as abbot at
the Contemplatives of St Joseph Monastery. [

Father Vito made the announcement to all present a month ago at our Pascha Divine Liturgy, May 5th, and again on St Thomas Sunday, but we were advised to wait for the formal announcement before broadcasting the news.
It's been a long wait! LOL!
