At the most recent Parish Pastoral Council Meeting the Chair of the Group announced his retirement from the position.  Mike Answerth has served in the position for 16 years and has offered the Parish dynamic, enthusiastic and christian leadership to Lumen Christi.  As a foundation member of the Parish from the 1970s and his contribution has been nothing short of excellent and his clarity of thought, commitment and wise counsel will be sadly missed by us all.  In particular Mike has been a strong advocate for the need to continue to build the connection between School and Parish.  As a school parent, then school grandparent and staff-grandfather to Miss Jess, Mike and Marion have been wonderful supporters of the school.  On behalf of the school we thank Mike for his contributions, and in particular the mentoring and support he has offered each of the school principals he has worked alongside.

Mike's departure leaves a position on the Parish Pastoral Council and Fr.James extends an invitation to interested people to contact him or Mr.Cooper to discuss you future involvement as part of this group.
