Dear St. Anthony community,

I would like to inform you this weekend that I will be leaving St. Anthony at the beginning of March to become the Director of Music Ministry at Christ the King. Sunday, March 5th will be my last day here.

I do not have the words to express how grateful I am for my time at St. Anthony. I could go on and on about how I have seen God's love at work in this community – in the parish and school, activities and ministries, people and prayers. It has been a great privilege to learn, grow, and pray with you all.

After much prayer and discernment, we have decided to take this opportunity at Christ the King. During my time in the MDiv program at Notre Dame, I studied alongside brothers and seminarians in the Congregation of Holy Cross, being formed in the charisms and spirituality of their order. My husband grew up attending a Holy Cross parish and school, and for years we have talked about how much we would love to be at a Holy Cross parish. Because of these ties to the Congregation of Holy Cross, we truly felt God calling us to accept the job at Christ the King.

Kevin and I will very much miss being a part of this community and we hope to make the most out of our last few weeks here. We are already praying that you will quickly find the lucky person who will get to serve you next in this role.

In Christ,
Lindsey Barrett
Director of Music & Liturgy
