Reception with Refreshments for Scott Schumaker
You’re Invited!
Please join us in celebrating Scott Schumaker and his incredible dedication to our parish.
After 24 years of service, Scott will be retiring this summer. A lifelong member of our parish, Scott has shared his time, talent, and unmatched MacGyver-like skills to support and uplift our community in countless ways. Whether you’ve heard his voice in the choir, seen him on a scaffolding changing light bulbs, or admired the beautifully arranged Christmas nativity — year after year — Scott’s presence has been felt everywhere. A proud member of the Knights of Columbus, often seen in his blue shirt, Scott truly is a Jack of all trades. We could go on and on about his contributions, but instead we invite you to join us in celebrating him.
RECEPTION WITH REFRESHMENTS - June 7/8
Following weekend Mass in Parish Center Cafeteria
Let’s come together to thank Scott for all he has done and to wish him well in his next chapter!
