This Sunday, August 15, Historic Saint Paul will welcome Michael Bayer as a guest residing on the third floor of Brossart House for about six months. Michael is the newly appointed Director of Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministry for the Diocese of Lexington. Michael comes to Lexington from Chicago where his wife will remain for several months in their home while she finishes her degree. “Michael’s energy and vision will be greatly beneficial in our efforts as a Church to embody humble, authentic living of the Gospel to a generation that needs such witnesses,” said Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv. of Lexington, who made the appointment. “When youth and young adults are rejecting religious belief and affiliation at precipitous rates, it’s all the more urgent that the Church embrace a model that is aware of their actual concerns and attentive to people most at the periphery.” We welcome Michael to Historic Saint Paul community! In the heart of Jesus, Fr. Richard
