Dan Hayes has been employed by our parish for about 21 years as maintenance worker. Two months ago he formally retired but has remained with us part time while we sought a suitable replacement. Now that George Rivera has been hired to fill the position, Dan will soon begin a well-earned time of rest and relaxation.

Dan Hayes used his gifts well on behalf of this parish. He is especially gifted in woodworking, building systems, machine diagnostic and repair and maintenance and was called upon to use these skills repeatedly in repairing and maintaining our 160 yr. old church buildings. We are indebted to him and will miss his friendliness and kindness including the many ways that he contributed to parish life.
