February 23, 2024 Memorial of St. Polycarp, bishop and martyr
FROM: Most Rev. David A. Konderla SUBJECT: Appointment Announcement
Effective July 1, 2024, Fr. Brian O'Brien will assume the responsibilities of Rector of Holy Family Cathedral. Fr. Gary D. Kastl will become full-time Vicar General for the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma and remain in residence at Holy Family Cathedral Rectory. Fr. O’Brien will remain the Vicar Forane for the Western Vicariate.
Due to Fr. O'Brien's sabbatical, I am making this announcement outside of the normal slate of announcements in order to allow due time for Fr. Kastl and Fr. O'Brien to work towards a smooth transition of Holy Family Cathedral and Classical School.
Please pray for both Fr. O'Brien and Fr. Kastl and for the Holy Family community during this time of transition.
