The Rev. Stephen Nickle is retiring from Trinity University at the end of this month, after 18 years of service as the university chaplain.
Nickle and his wife, Catherine Morell-Nickle, the beloved coordinator of Student Accessibility Services here at Trinity, will be moving to Tacoma, Washington this summer.
After the move, Nickle plans to spend the summer exploring his new home of Washington and spending time with his children who live on the West coast. In the fall, he will go back into the role of a student at Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, where he will have a year long residency in a clinical pastoral education program. He will be learning how to have a chaplain/pastoral presence in a hospital setting, working with patients, their families and care takers.
