Christ Our Light Catholic Church - Loudonville, NY

September 28 and 29, 2024
Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From Ann McCauley ~ 

With a heart filled with very mixed emotions, I write this message of not good-bye, but of gratitude and affection as I prepare for the next chapter of my life. It is with a sense of sadness that I leave my position as Pastoral Associate for Administration with the communities of Christ Our Light and St. Clare’s, where I have had the privilege of ministering for the past four years. As many of you know, I am leaving to become my husband’s full-time caregiver as he struggles with Alzheimer’s disease. 

As I reflect upon my time here, I have been blessed to work for and minister with Deacon Dick, as well as the rest of the many wonderful staff at both parishes. I have received countless blessings from God during this time, both personally and professionally. The faith of the community of parishioners at both parishes has been a gift to witness and I thank you for that privilege. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have served alongside you.

As a volunteer minister, I will continue to oversee the Pastoral Care Ministry of both parishes. In addition, as part of my doctoral thesis and project for a Doctoral in Ministry, I will be establishing Social Justice Ministries at both parishes. Please look for more information about this ministry in the coming months.

As I move into this next chapter, please know that you will remain in my prayers, and I humbly ask for your prayers as well.

God Bless
