It is official! Our Papa has a new job! Steven accepted an offer from John Paul Funes. John Paul is the CEO of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation. He was offered the position of Campaign Director for Our Lady of the Lake's Children's Hospital. Our Lady of the Lake has a children's hospital; however, it is just one floor of the actual building. Therefore, the foundation is starting the Capital Campaign to raise over a million dollars to build a whole building for the Children's Hospital. Steven will be the Campaign Director for the capital campaign and work closely with John Paul as well as two other men who serve as volunteers on the Foundation Board. Steven & I are really thrilled about this incredible opportunity that has really fallen into his lap & is an answer to a year long prayer request. We have been ever blessed by God with so much support & a loving community at St. Aloysius. Through this community Steven has been connected to this new opportunity. Steven is excited to continue to work in a Catholic setting and in a setting that is helping children. This is a different population of children; however, these children are still seeking hope & love just like the children of St. Aloysius. Steven is excited about the challenge of building a capital campaign & meeting even more people than the people he's met over the years at St. Aloysius. Steven begins working at Our Lady of the Lake on December 20th. On December 19th Father Burns will announce Steven's official leaving at 5:30 mass and there will be reception immediately following. You all are welcome to attend! Again we are grateful for Steven's new opportunity & we ask that you all pray for us as we make this transition in the coming weeks.

Much Love & Many Blessings,

Mauree
