CK Welcomes Newcomers,

Thanks Retirees

Administrators, faculty and students at Christ the King R.H.S., Middle Village, extend a hearty welcome to Father Kevin Abels, parochial vicar at St. Sebastian, Woodside, who will serve as part-time chaplain to the school starting this fall.

The school also welcomes Sister Elizabeth Graham and Sister Maryann Kollmer, who will serve as spiritual directors. They're replacing Deacon Robert Lavanco, who retired last month.

On June 16, CK's administration, faculty and staff held a wine and cheese party to celebrate the retirements of Deacon Lavanco and social studies teacher Richard Vargas. At left, Paul Norman, CK's religion department chairman, right, wishes Deacon Lavanco, left, a happy retirement.
