From the desk of Father John
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, I give thanks to God every time when I think of being blessed by all of you. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude for welcoming me and accepting me to be part of Sacred Heart Parish. I am indeed blessed to have such a wonderful loving and caring community. My heart is indeed full of joy and I am excited to work with you to build the kingdom of God not forgetting that we are disciples on the way. I want to thank the Parish council, Finance council, the staff, and all volunteer groups of the Parish for the good work they have done. Indeed, I cannot forget Fr. Joe Dorner who has been the Pastor for our Parish this past year and the great work he has done, and for his continued work of building discipleship.
I am totally convinced that you should know me by now since I have been serving you as the Parochial Vicar for one year. But allow me to repeat myself a little bit. I was Ordained a priest in December 16, 1984. I served as a Pastor for some time, then I served as Father in charge of School and a Chaplain for over ten years. My last assignment before I came to Green Bay Diocese, I was appointed as a Director of Catechesis in the Diocese and at the same time the Director of Pope John Paul II Pastoral Center . After serving for 25 years as a priest I was invited by Rt Rev Bishop David L Ricken to come and have my sabbatical year in year 2010. I am very grateful to the Bishop for inviting me to the Green Bay Diocese and also to
accept me to work in the Diocese.
I started working officially in Green Bay in 2011 and my first assignment or appointment as Parish Administer was at Saint Joseph and Immaculate Conception Parish in Oneida until June 30, 2019. Then I received a new appointment as a Parochial Vicar at St Bernadette and Sacred Heart Parish which started on July 1, 2019. Here I am now again with the new appointment as Parish Administrator of Sacred Heart Parish. With God’s Grace I am sure we will be able to build the kingdom of God. Given a good Pastoral Team we have at the Parish and working together we can make a difference.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue to inspire us to our call, common mission as welcoming people, nourished by the Eucharist and followers of Jesus who are devoted to fostering household and family discipleship. Sacred Heart of Jesus we trust in thee.
Fr John Katamba
