From The Desk of the Associate Pastor
Change is coming. Bishop Rice has asked me to take a new assignment. On
Aug. 4, I will go to Doniphan and serve there as parochial vicar, (read:
“associate pastor”) with pastor Fr. Daniel Robles. He lives in Poplar Bluff
and we’ll serve both parishes together. I’ll miss St. Agnes. Thank you for
the happy memories and thank you for your well wishes and prayers. If at
times I haven’t acted well as Christ, please forgive me. Fr (Allen) Kirchner
of Jackson, ordained June 12, will replace me as your new parochial vicar.
May God bless you richly, Father Joseph
