RELIGIOUS EDUCATION COORDINATOR

Our current Coordinator of Religious Education, Debbie Ricker, has been offered some intriguing opportunities outside of the Frankfort are & has elected not to continue as the CRE for Our Lady Queen of Apostles. This was a very difficult decision for Debbie. She did a superb job in the time that she served as CRE. She is very thankful for all the help so many people in the parish gave her. Our prayers go with her. She will be replaced by Michelle Deutschman. Michelle & her husband Eric are members of the parish. Both taught in the religious education program last year. Their daughter Allison is a lector & their sons Andrew & Jonathan are altar servers. They have two other children, Jenna, who recently received her First Communion, & Owen, the youngest.

David Mickiewicz, the newly appointed pastor of Assumption/St. Paul in Mechanicville & St. Peter the Apostle in Stillwater. For many years Fr. Mickiewicz was responsible for the liturgical formation of deacons, a position now held by Fr. Anthony. This year’s retreat is open to all ministers – Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Sacristans, Greeters, MC’s, Ushers, those who take Communion to the sick & homebound, etc. If you minister in the church in any capacity you are welcome and encouraged to attend.
