Joyce Kotta Retirement Announcement

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On behalf of the Nativity of Our Lord parish community, I wish to offer Christ’s blessings and a heartfelt congratulations to Joyce Kotta on her retirement.  Joyce has provided dedicated service to our parish office for nearly 28 years, and I am deeply grateful for her faithfulness, kindness, hard work, and commitment. 

Joyce’s last official day at Nativity is this Thursday, May 8, but her family’s roots in the neighborhood run deep so she will never be far away.  I wish Joyce all the best for a happy and fulfilling retirement.  May it be filled with joy, relaxation, and spiritual rejuvenation.

Please see below for a message from Joyce in her own words.

In Christ Our Lord,

Fr. Rolf Tollefson
Pastor of Nativity of Our Lord

Dear Nativity,

 

I want to start out by saying how much this Nativity Parish Community means to me.  I have strong connections to Nativity, and I always will.  I went to grade school here, my husband Ray and I were married here, my Dad was buried from here, my three sons all went to school here, and finally I have had the privilege of working here for almost 28 years.  

I feel truly blessed and will miss all the people and the vibrancy of Nativity parish.  I look forward to a new chapter in life as I retire.  I will always hold Nativity close to my heart.

Thankfully, Joyce Kotta
