Dear St. Columban and St. Margaret of York parishioners. 

I am grateful for the welcome I have received in Loveland over these past few months. It is no surprise to many that I have had some struggles with being the pastor of these two very large and very disparate parishes – each with its own school. I have reached out to the Archdiocese to help me work through this. After several conversations, it has been decided that I should take a sabbatical. This does not necessarily mean a permanent change in my assignment. The assignment process will be determined in the coming months. Please keep me in your prayers as I will keep you in mine.

Fr. Chris Worland
