This will be the fourth time Fr. Chris will use Route 30 to go to a new assignment. Van Wert is about 20 minutes from Delphos- St. John Parish, which is where Fr. Chris was before he came to St. Joseph and Sacred Heart Parishes. Fr. Chris hopes to celebrate some Masses with you before he moves to Van Wert.
The new Pastor for St. Joseph and Sacred Heart Parishes is Fr. Jeff Smith. You should have no problem pronouncing his last name. Fr. Smith comes from St. Joseph and St. Ann Parishes in Fremont.
