Welcoming Fr. Thomas Zelker to Immaculate Conception
Rev. Thomas Zelker has been appointed by Bishop How-ard Hubbard as Pastor in our parish. Currently, Fr. Zelker is serving St. Mary’s Church in Granville and has been in that parish for over 17 years prior to his time in many other parishes. He will continue to serve the people of the Gran-ville area through the 1st of August and will move from Granville to Hoosick Falls on the 2nd.
The first Mass at which he will preside is Tuesday the 3rd; as Thursday’s will be his day off, the Daily Mass will be replaced with a Communion Service.
Plans for welcoming Fr. Zelker to our parish will be discussed within the next two weeks … additional information will be available in upcoming bulletins and our website! Ideas and suggestions should be given to a Pastoral Council mem-ber: Linda Bennett, Mike Brewster, Michael Brewster, Rick Ferrannini, Beth Ferrannini, Ed Gorman, Karen Kaufman, John Kaufman, Mary Ellen Kinney, Barb Lancour or Stella Sawyer.
