THE WEEK OF

November 5-12, 2026

After much thought and prayful consideration, Marie O'Neil has decided to retire from her position as Parish Administrator. During the 5 years that Marie occupied the desk chair in the Parish Office, St. Paul's has gone from a church learning to deal with Covid and then rebuilding under the guidance of a new Rector, Fr. Allan Wallace. We are now well on the right path: we are growing and developing into a vital parish.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone to come in and take over and continue us in that forward movement!

Marie's last day in the office will be Dec. 31. No worries, she isn't going anywhere, except maybe to a beach chair somewhere in January! She will be popping in to help out in the office frequently and continuing her other ministries.

We are so grateful for all that Marie has brought and will continue to bring to our parish community. Stay tuned for a special celebration to honor Marie and to celebrate her service as our administrator.
