BELCHERTOWN — Bishop Rozanski has appointed Fr. Jack Sheaffer as the new pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in West Springfield, effective August 31, 2019. This news is also being shared with the people in West Springfield this weekend. Fr. Jack will be succeeding longtime pastor, Fr. Kenneth Tatro, who is retiring.
The Bishop’s Committee for the Clergy will be meeting in the next few weeks to recommend a successor to Fr. Jack. An official announcement will be made in a few weeks after a new pastor for St. Francis of Assisi Parish has been named.
Please keep Fr. Jack and our parish in your prayers during this time of transition. Please pray, too, for Fr. Tatro and the people of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish as they move through this same process of transition.
