Bishop Burbidge announced clergy assignments today, to take effect on June 26.  Sadly, St Mary will be losing Father Cozzi after 4 years of joyfully serving the people of Fredericksburg.  He will be transferred to Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Winchester, where he will have pastoral and administrative responsibility of a new campus site in Stephens City, VA.

Please continue to pray for Fr. Cozzi and his ministry.  Details on a going away will follow.

His replacement will be Deacon Joseph Connor, who will be ordained to the priesthood on June 7.  Please keep Deacon Connor in your prayers.

Deacon Tim Banach has been assigned to St James in Falls Church following his ordination to the priesthood, also on June 7.  Please keep Deacon Tim and all our clergy in your prayers.
