Let us extend a warm welcome to Father Lajarus with a heartfelt prayer as he embarks on his journey as the Administrator of Holy Cross & Immaculate Heart of Mary in Yancey. We are truly thankful for the opportunity to work alongside him in this important ministry. Each of us shares a unique role in serving God and the Community. We come together not just as individuals, but as a compassionate community united in faith, fully

embracing our shared identity as the people of God.
