In an August meeting the SJA Parish Council unanimously recommended four parishioners to Father DeBruycker for appointment to the Parish Council - Daymond Dean, Maura Fitzgerald, and Ian Stade were nominated for three-year terms and Josie Meyer was nominated for the Youth Representative spot which is a one-year term. Father has formalized the recommendation by appointing the named individuals to terms beginning in September.
The new members succeed Emily Antin, Dick Brozic and Kathy Wedl who are leaving the Council after having completed two three-year terms as of the June, 2023 meeting. At the same Parish Council meeting the members voted to recommended Mike Rydberg be appointed as the new Parish Council chair effective with the September meeting. He succeeds Ann Counihan, who is stepping down as chair but will continue on the Council.
We're blessed and thankful that these parishioners have accepted appointment to the Council and we extend our deep gratitude to the members who are leaving. All those who have served and will be serving truly exemplify the St. Joan of Arc Parish spirit of service.
