December 22, 2020It was formally announced on Monday, December 21, 2020, by Most Rev. Robert Coerver, Bishop of the Diocese of Lubbock, that our Pastor, Fr. David Cruz has been appointed Chancellor of the Diocese, effective immediately. Fr. David is assuming the position previously held by Mr. Marty Martin who has now been appointed the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Diocese. Along with his new responsibilities, Fr. David will continue in his role as Vicar General of the Diocese and Canonical Pastor of San Ramon Church, Woodrow.
Traditionally, the chancellor expediates canonical matters of the diocese and its parishes. This encompasses preparing official acts, collecting many types of records, and producing formal documents. By virtue of his office, the chancellor is the ecclesiastical notary.
With regards to our own parish, FR. DAVID WILL CONTINUE AS PASTOR OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST. At this time, we do not foresee this new responsibility changing anything within our parish. Please keep him in your prayers as he adjusts to these additional responsibilities beyond our own parish family.
