The need for a new chaplain arose when long time Yonkers AOH Chaplain Fr. Eric Raaser, Pastor of Immaculate Conception Church in Tuckahoe was moved to a new assignment by The Archdiocese of New York. The normal term for Pastors is 6 years. Fr. Janeczko happily agreed to accept the new position when approached by AOH members over the summer months.
