Staff Changes
Please join us in welcoming Kathy Gaito, who recently assumed the duties of Marketing Director for the Magazine Group. Kathy has worked with The Hershey Company, St. Anthony Publishing, Inc., Zeitgeist Publishing, and Thompson Publishing, Inc. She will lead parish outreach and all marketing initiatives for our magazines. Please feel free to stop by and say hello to Kathy!

Catholic Digest is very sad to be losing Kerry Weber to graduate school (she'll be attending Columbia in the fall), but we're also very happy to welcome Kathryn Oates to our company and team. Kate just graduated from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama where, she says: "I learned Jesuit ideals, to never underestimate the power of compassion, and that alligator really does taste like chicken. Now that I'm back in New England I'm enjoying hiking, costume making, Japanese martial arts, and cooking cultural cuisine. I'm very excited about being given the privilege of joining the team at Catholic Digest and am looking forward to working with everyone.
"Hajimemashita! (Japanese: It's nice to meet you!)"
Please stop by and welcome Kate to Bayard!

After careful consideration of the needs of the organization the accounting department is in the process of making some changes in personnel and positions of personnel to streamline the operations and improve the communication with our parent company. Unfortunately when this happens we sometimes have to make changes that affect employees that we all thoroughly enjoy working with and in this case I am sadden to say the Cidalia’s last day with Bayard will be Friday August 8th. We will be restructuring the accounting operation and both Amy and Kim will be taking on new responsibilities based on their accounting skills and Excel skills. An additional experienced staff accountant will be added to do payroll and account reconciliations. We wish the very best success to all in their respective future endeavors.

Who’s In, Who’s Out
Hubert will be arriving in NL by train at 10 am today and leaving Thursday at 4 pm
