Six months ago, congregants of the Navarre United Methodist Church put the finishing touches on the newest facet of their We Care mission – the Good Neighbor thrift store.

James P. Valenzuela, pastor of St. Ann Catholic Church in Gulf Breeze, was issued a proclamation July 1 by Gulf Breeze Mayor Pro Tem Beverly Zimmern at city hall. Valenzuela will leave his position as parochial vicar at St. Ann’s in order to work at Nativity of Our Lord Parish and University of West Florida in Pensacola.
