WAHOO – Monday was moving day for Fr. Christopher Goodwin, as he celebrated his final mass at St. John Nepomucene Church in Weston that morning.
“It was interesting, actually, because I was expecting it to be a typical Monday morning mass with maybe 10 people in attendance,” he said. “But there were probably a few dozen people there who came to see me off. The support I’ve received from the parishioners has been overwhelming.”
Goodwin, who has served the Weston and Touhy parishes and has acted as the superintendent of St. John Nepomucene Grade School in Weston for the last four years is now moving on to a very different position.
“I’m going to be serving as an administrative secretary at the Vatican Embassy in Washington D.C.,” explained Goodwin.
Each week, there are literally hundreds of letters that pass between the more than 200 American Catholic Diocese and the Holy See in Rome. Goodwin will be one of about five priests who help to handle that correspondence and the administrative work that goes with it.
