Director of Music and Youth Ministry

I am pleased to announce that Paul Van Lysebettens has joined our parish leadership team full time as Music Director/Youth Minister. Paul, or Mr. Van to our teen community, is already known to many. He was a longtime parishioner of St. Julian Eymard, and like so many of us, is a founding member of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Parish.

Paul has already been generously serving as choir director and youth minister for many years in a volunteer capacity, but decided to join us full-time when he retired from his law practice this Summer. He has also regularly led sung prayer or helped as a lector at Sunday or special liturgies when needed. "Welcome aboard” doesn’t quite fit the occasion, but I look forward to continue working with Paul. —Fr. Dan
