I am coming to the end of my stay at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Saline. As of July, I will begin my new assignment as a high school chaplain in Lansing. It has been a pleasure to serve as the chaplain for council #6674, and I wish my brother knights much success in their future endeavors.
