Bishop Brennan has let us know that we can share with you the good news that Fr. Timothy Hayes has been appointed pastor of the new three-parish cluster of St. Peter and St. Mary parishes here in Chillicothe, and St. Mary parish in Waverly. Fr. Hayes presently serves as pastor of St. Timothy parish in Columbus. Also, Fr. Cyrus Haddad has been named pastor of St. Colman of Cloyne parish in Washington Court House. Fr. Haddad presently serves as one of two parochial vicars at St. Joseph Cathedral, and as chaplain to the Extraordinary Form Mass Community at Holy Family parish in downtown Columbus. As you know from previous announcements these changes are the result of my being appointed by Bishop Brennan to serve as the new Director of Vocations for the Diocese, and Fr. Hummer retiring this summer. Fr. Hayes and Fr. Haddad will likely begin their new assignments during the regular rotation time in July but that does have the potential to change given some of the unknowns with regards to the coronavirus situation; I will keep you posted if there is a change in regards to the starting date. I have known both Fr. Hayes and Fr. Haddad for some time now and I’m sure that you will be happy to have Fr. Hayes serving here in the consortium as I am sure St. Colman will be happy to have Fr. Haddad, so please join me in welcoming them! Other decisions regarding if one or both of our current parochial vicars will remain on to assist Fr. Hayes are still being decided by the Bishop. We hope to hear on that topic in the near future!

Click here to read the current letter from the Ohio Bishops regarding public Masses. Let us continue to pray for one another during these times, and let us pray a prayer composed by Saint Francis de Sales, the patron saint of our Columbus Diocese: Do not look forward in fear to the changes and chances of this life; Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, God, to whom you belong will in His love enable you to profit by them. He has guided you thus far in life, and He will lead you safely through all trials; and when you cannot stand it, God will bury you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and every day. He will either shield you from suffering, or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Amen. Fraternally, Bishop Brennan
