We welcome Fr. Stephan and Kh. Annette Close, who arrive Saturday, Sept. 13. Fr. Stephan is a recently retired Air Force chaplain after 20 years of service, and will be attached to St. Luke Church as a second priest. Fr. Stephan attended Asbury and St Vladimir seminaries, working in urban and foreign missions.  He was ordained in '92.  After serving parishes in Detroit and Montreal, the Archdiocese assigned him to pastor our military men and women.  They have had 7 moves (including the Academy just down the road), Germany, England and even a hospital) and was deployed 3 times. Kh. Annette is an Occupational Therapist. Many years to them!
