As was announced last weekend, we are going to be getting a new pastor - Fr. Thomas Baldonieri - effective July 1, 2019. Fr. Tom will be replacing our beloved Fr. Mike, who is retiring. Fr. Tom is also extremely happy to be coming here and joining the Holy Rosary Parish family.
Ordained in 1990, Fr. Tom has served in a number of parishes as an Associate Pastor. He also served as adjunct formation faculty at Quigley Seminary. Since 2007, he has been the pastor at St. James Church in Highwood, Illinois. We know he will grace and bless us with his presence and ministry. Let's all extend a big welcome to Fr. Tom, and pray that God will bless him as he makes the transition to our parish. May the Lord always bless our wonderful Fr. Mike, too, who has served us with such commitment, dedication, and loving care for these past years.
