Dear Parishioners,
We are pleased to welcome Reverend Richard J.

Kathryn Ann (Whitworth) Jasper, of Drexel Hill,
Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Saint Charles
Borromeo Elementary School, Monsignor Bonner
High School and Cabrini College of Pennsylvania.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and

addition, he also worked as an assistant youth
minister at Saint John the Beloved Church in
Wilmington and performed a volunteer year of
service at Seton Center/Catholic Charities’ multipurpose community center in Princess Anne,

Diocese of Wilmington. During his formation at St.
Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, he served in summer
ministry and a pastoral year at Saint Elizabeth
Church in Wilmington and was later assigned to
