When Fr. Sherwin was not made a Pastor last July - I have to admit I was surprised. He has been ordained 6 years - and I fully expected he would be made a Pastor... well I was only a few month "early" in my expectations! Last week Fr. Sherwin received official news that Archbishop Collins is appointing him as Pastor of Immaculate Conception parish in Sutton, and its mission - Our Lady of the Lake in Keswick. Like many older parish/mission combinations - the Mission is now bigger than the "parish". (Like Schomberg and Nobleton)
Fr. Sherwin has of course been involved in all aspects of parish life - yet he has had specific responsibility for the Sacrament of Confirmation, and St. Nicholas and Pope John Paul II schools as well as being involved with the Edge and Life Teen youth ministries.
We will be able to have a celebration of thanks for Fr. Sherwin on Sunday afternoon, January 8th - between 2 and 4 pm.
We will welcome Fr. Damian Young-Sam-You as our new Associate Pastor effective January 11, 2012. Fr. Damian was an associate at Our Lady of Grace in Aurora for 2 years, and has been the Assistant Vocations Director at Serra House in downtown Toronto for the last year and a half. Here is an introductory Video about Fr. Damian:
