Dear Parishioners,
Fr. Mark Schaffner, O.Carm.
I have requested the Carmelites for a transfer for reasons of health and wellbeing. They have responded to my request and are allowing me to return to Florida.
Next week I should be able to report to you on who has been chosen to serve as a temporary administrator in my absence until a new pastor is appointed. I thank all of you for allowing me to serve you here and I wish you well along with every grace and blessing.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
Sincerely,
Fr. Mark Schaffner, O.Carm.
