A Word from Your Pastor
Dear Parishioners:
I am happy to be able to let you know that Bishop Brennan has appointed the new Pastor of St. Timothy Church who will take up the responsibility this summer: Fr. David Poliafico. He is currently the pastor of St. Christopher Church in Grandview, so many of you may already know him from the “Last Call” Mass. Fr. Poliafico was ordained in 1995. He will tell you himself that I was the Vocation Director responsible for his coming into the program for the Diocese of Columbus. He has served as pastor in two parishes before, so he comes to St. Timothy with experience.
It is always hard to leave a place behind, but it is good to know that the place you are leaving has someone else to take up the responsibilities. You will not be left as orphans! Fr. Poliafico has many gifts and interesting hobbies. I won’t say more than that, so you can find out when you meet him for yourselves.
We have not yet found out for sure when the transition will be, but it will likely take place in mid-July. The usual day for changes in the Diocese of Columbus has been the second Tuesday of July. A lot will depend on how things go with our “re-entry” into the world after Coronavirus time. In the meantime, please keep all priests and parishes that will be experiencing transitions in your prayers.
I want you to know that I am fully engaged here at St. Timothy and we will continue to keep working together to live through this strange time to the best of our abilities. We want to ensure that everyone in our community knows that we are with them. I am very grateful to all who are helping to keep things flowing smoothly. I assure you of my prayers.
