The Rev. Robert Miller, 32, parochial vicar at Mary, Mother of Hope in New Castle, will move to St. Valentine Church in Bethel Park as assistant parochial vicar on Jan 18. He recalls five years of service, including 200 funerals, 40 to 50 weddings, and 100 baptisms, and notes merging two churches into a real parish amid Vatican II changes. He leaves with mixed feelings after building strong ties and guiding religious instruction updates.
