Dear Friends, My name is Fr. Peter Mactutis. It is with great joy that I present myself to you and the entire St. Frances Cabrini School Community as your new priest administrator/ pastor for the parish and school. I come here having finished a two year assignment as parochial vicar at the six-parish cluster in and around Chehalis, WA, which also had a Catholic school. One of the great joys of being a priest in a parish with a school is the enthusiasm and energy that the kids bring to the life of the parish. Having grown up attending Catholic schools myself, I am convinced of how powerful it is in the lives of kids to be able to share, and live, and grow in one’s own faith, not just at home but also while at school while with peers. I must say that my new assignment here at St. Frances Cabrini is my first time as pastor of a community, which means I come with great excitement for the opportunity to be the pastoral leader of a community with a school, but also that I am in need of experience. In my first few weeks here I have been getting to know and working with Stephanie Van Leuven, the school staff and parents. It has been wonderful. I have been very impressed by their depth of love for the school and commitment to its mission. I hope, especially in this first year of mine, to learn a lot from everyone involved at the school. I also hope that my presence will help the school to continue to excel in its mission of making Jesus present and real in the lives of our children and their families. Speaking of “excelling”, the school and parish are continuing to prepare a Master Plan for the building and renovating of the facilities. I hope to help make this a reality. Let us pray for guidance from our Lord, this coming year, that all of us together can make St. Frances Cabrini School a powerful learning environment for the children. Thank you all for your love and support of our school and parish. May God bless you all, Fr. Peter Mactutis
