3829669-7667929-thumbnailIn his weekly Pastor’s Note, Fr. Antonio Nardoianni announced his imminent transfer to the Franciscan Provincial headquarters in New York City. Below is an excerpt from the note in the church bulletin.

“I am honored and humbled by the trust and confidence that so many of my fellow friars have placed in me. The outcome of this vast consultation implies that I have to move from parochial ministry to a full-time provincial administrative position.”

“I pledge to remain in touch with St. Leonard’s, and to do all my best to provide a good replacement. Together with Fr. Claude and the new pastor, with your continued cooperation, I am sure that you will write a new exciting chapter in the history of this parish.”
