Keep Father Kevin at SJW

Father Kevin is scheduled to be moved from SJW parish to a new location. He has been the leader of our church community for many years, and we can confidently say that many would consider him the sole purpose for attending mass at SJW and supporting the parish. Should he no longer be a part of our community, we anticipate that parish participation and morale would drop severely, endangering the stability of our parish family. We would like for Father Kevin to, so long as he approves of it, stay with our parish for the next 2 years until he reaches the age of 60. At that point in time, he can decide at which parish he would like to reside permanently.
