As I announced last weekend, Bishop Doherty asked me be dean of the West Deanery... I have agreed. What does this mean?
1. I will be leaving St. Mary & Muncie at the end of
June.
2. I have not been assigned to a new parish yet but it
will be in the West Deanery some place.
3. The deanery extends from Crawfordsville to Wheatfield and includes all the parishes in between (including Lafayette) ~ see the above map.
4. The new pastor of the Muncie Pastorate has not been determined as the Personnel Board hasn't met yet. So we still don't know which priests will be coming or going
5. I am sad to be leaving St. Mary and Muncie. I love all of you... it is an honor to have been selected by Bishop Doherty to be Dean of the West and a silver lining is that it puts me closer to my parents who live in Lafayette.
Please keep me in your prayers, now more than ever!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Fr. A. Dudzinski
