ARDEN — Deacon Charles Moss has received faculties and been assigned by Bishop Peter Jugis to serve St. Barnabas Church in Arden, effective Aug. 11.
This is a return home for Deacon Moss, who was ordained for the Diocese of Charlotte by the late Bishop John Donoghue on June 18, 1988, at St. Gabriel Church in Charlotte. He served at St. Patrick Cathedral in Charlotte and Immaculate Conception Church in
Hendersonville, before moving to Colorado in 2002 to serve in several parishes in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo Dioceses.
Most recently he served in the Diocese of St. Augustine, Fla.
An Ohio native, he retired in 2019 from active practice as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist after 45 years.
Last month he and his wife Rose moved back to North Carolina, where they have settled in Arden and look forward to serving St. Barnabas Parish.
