As announced last weekend, Msgr. Panke and Fr. Martín will be transferring to new assignments this July. Msgr. Panke has been appointed to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Washington, DC, and Fr. Martín will be serving at St. Aloysius Parish and St. Mary's Ryken High School in Leonardtown, MD.
