Fr Jim with Jr High 2024

Our hearts are heavy today as we have lost someone so close to us. Our source of guidance and who taught us what it means to be a community family. Heaven has gained an incredible angel who has touched so many lives. We wouldn’t be here without him! Fr James Novotny will be missed, but will pray for solace that he has found comfort in the arms of Jesus and will be rejoicing in heaven this Christmas!

“We do not have to rely on memories to recapture the spirit of those we have loved and lost - they live within our souls in some perfect sanctuary which even death cannot destroy.”

Those who wish to make a donation in memory of Fr. Jim can donate to Lindsay Academy at the Bank of Lindsay with memo for "Fr. Jim's Memorial". Proceeds will be used to purchase crucifixes and other statues in the school, further develop the theology program and align with Fr. Jim's passion for supporting the children to receive a Catholic faith-based education in Lindsay."
