After considering a new direction, Minnesota Catholic Conference executive director Jason Adkins has decided to remain in his current position.

The MCC announced July 20 that Adkins had reversed his July 1 decision to leave the MCC and plans to continue to serve as the organization’s executive director. “We are very grateful that he will continue to serve the Church in this role and bring his great visionary and leadership capabilities to the mission field,” the MCC stated. “For everyone who has sent their well wishes and notes of gratitude, know that Jason is also thankful for your support over the past decade. Our entire staff is grateful for all you do to promote life, dignity, and the common good. We are all co-workers for truth in the vineyard of the Lord.”
