The bulletin said Fr. Raj is moving to an assignment at a seminary in India. According to the Catholic Standard, Fitz-Patrick is being transferred to administrator at OLV. Looks like he was never officially at Annunciation - just a weekend associate.

At least one of the priests teaches at Catholic and lives in the rectory so he serves a few masses. They have had visiting priests on the same terms.

4 priests is a very large staff in my opinion. My parish is "making do" with two priests, a seminarian, and a slew of deacons.

don't know, but wonder if the numbers are decreasing --if so, perhaps they just can't afford such a large staff.

Wow! Am a parishioner--didn't know the other other priests were leaving as well. That said, it is a parish that just doesn't quite work for reasons I can't quite put my finger on, although I like the ethnic and age diversity. Monsignor Montgomery kept it together but things just haven't been the same since.
