Prayers Answered

Yesterday, Friday, to my surprise, a gentleman who called me two weeks ago, came to speak about assuming the position of Maintenance Technician, succeeding Mr. Martin L'Etoile. After conversations with Mrs. Martinez, the principal of the parish school, and two other staff members, I was delighted to hear the gentleman, Mr. John Tomko, tell me he would like to accept our offer.

Mr. Tomko, lives in Maryland. He is dedicated to his faith. He is a man truly concerned for others. Usually, each Saturday, he works with a group of Sisters who have little help to maintain the convent they call home.

Mr. Tomko is a journeyman in the carpenter's union, is qualified in electrical and plumbing work. At one time in his life he worked with children on a Navajo reservation.

John will hit the deck, running, on Monday afternoon after fulfilling all the Archdiocesan requirements related to the Child Protection programs all employees and volunteers who are around our school children must complete.

Welcome, John. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers.
