Dear Saint Paul School Families,

The Most Reverend Christopher J. Coyne, Archbishop of Hartford, recently announced the following appointment: 

Rev. Michael Englert, OFM, Conv., to Administrator of Saint Paul Parish, Kensington, effective September 10, 2024.

This appointment was made in coordination with Fr. Michael Heine, OFM Conv., Minister Provincial of the Our Lady of the Angels Province of Franciscan Friars Conventual.

As Fr. Michael explained at Mass last weekend, he views his new role as Administrator to be much like that of an "interim head coach".

‘Head Coach Fr. Michael’ has the following message for you, the members of our parish family: "I am happily yours for as long as our Lord wants me."

Please continue to pray for Fr. Joseph, for the repose of his soul and consolation of his family and loved ones, and for our parish and friars as we begin a new chapter here at Saint Paul.

May God continue to bless our Franciscan family of faith.
