Departure of Father Ramírez Mendoza
Bishop Blair announced the SS. Peter and Paul Parish new appointments in a letter to the parish on Dec. 5, 2008, stating that “I am sorry to inform you that Father Isidro Mendoza will no longer be serving as the Administrator of Saints Peter and Paul Parish. He was with us in the Diocese of Toledo on an experimental basis from his religious order in México. Regretfully, circumstances did not permit this arrangement to continue.”
Padre Ramírez Mendoza was appointed to this position in August of 2008 and was from Canada de Caracheo in the State of Guanajuato, México. See related story on Padre Ramírez Mendoza.
On Nov. 20, 2008, Bishop Blair also announced the granting of Senior Status to Deacon René S. González, who has served at St. Michael Parish in Gibsonburg.
