Dear Parishioners,
Cardinal Collins has recently appointed me to take over Bishop Camilleri’s role as Chancellor of Spiritual Affairs, Vicar General of the archdiocese and Moderator of the Curia.
I sincerely hoped that I would be at the Cathedral for longer; however, as priests, we go where we are most needed and I am humbled by the trust that His Eminence has put into my abilities.
St. Michael’s is a vibrant community and I will truly miss seeing many of your faces, especially once we are out of this pandemic. Rest assured, you will remain in my prayers. Please remember me in your prayers as I take on my new duties.
The new Rector of St. Michael’s, Fr. Frank Portelli, will begin his ministry on February 1. Fr. Frank was ordained in 2009, has served previously at St. Luke’s Parish (Thornhill), and most recently has served as Director of the Office of Catholic Youth (OCY). Please pray for him during this time of transition.
In Christ,
Rev. Edward J. Curtis
