Retirements/Assignments Very Reverend Gregory Hopefl, pastor of the parishes of St. Francis Solanus, Reserve; St. Philip, Stone Lake and St. Ignatius, New Post, will retire from active priestly ministry in July. Fr. David will then become the pastor responsible for those three parishes as well as St. Joseph and St. Ann. These five parishes will be known as the Hayward cluster. We look forward to the arrival of Fr. Madanu Karunaker, an international priest who will be on mission here from the Diocese of Nalgonda, India, and will serve as Fr. David’s Associate Pastor. Please keep Fr. Hopefl, Fr. David, Fr. Madanu and our 5 parishes in your prayers especially during this transition.
