St. Malachy's Pastor, Fr. Lester Smith, announces retirement

SHERBURNE – After over 13 years of leading the St. Malachy's Parish in Sherburne, Father Lester Smith has announced he will be retiring, effective Friday, June 30.

The St. Malachy's Altar Rosary Society will host a cookie and punch reception this Sunday, June 25 from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Church Hall on East State Street as an opportunity for the public to stop by and wish Fr. Lester well.

It's reported that in retirement, Fr. Lester will be moving to St. John, the Baptist Rectory, in Syracuse. He hopes to spend some time visiting his family in California, as well as catching up on reading he has not yet had the time to do.

It's also reported that in retirement, Fr. Lester plans to make himself available to the Bishop of Syracuse so that he may serve as the Bishop may need him.

Those at St. Malachy's have expressed that they wish Father Lester a healthy and peaceful retirement.
