It was a sad, happy day at St Paul Catholic Parish as parishioners thanked Fr Collin for his spiritual leadership, and welcomed Fr Matt, as the new pastoral leader. Fr Collin served St Paul as the pastoral administrator from 5 April 2008 to 30 June 2008. He enthusiastic guidance and presence was embraced and shared with the entire parish - from the little children to our senior parishioners.

Fr Collin and Fr Matt studied in the seminary together and were ordained together. The two priests celebrated each others new assignment, with an un-officially official 'changing of the keys' to St Paul parish.


Fr Matt, who previously served at St John's Church in Columbia, began his duties as St Paul pastoral administrator on 1 July. Fr Collin was assigned to St Mary Parish in Hagerstown, as the pastoral director. In thanksgiving for your leadership, Fr Collin, and in thanksgiving for your arrival Fr Matt, may you each find new blessings as you continue your call to ministry.
