Know of my prayers after your Thanksgiving, your families
and friends as well as your weekend.
As
I mentioned last weekend, Fr. Paul Strommer (assistant priest in Brainerd) and
I are swapping our assignments this weekend. Many of you met Fr. Paul last November when he served as a
deacon in our Masses. And now he
is a “baby priest” in our diocese!
We are proud that a new priest in our Diocese of Duluth is visiting here. (And make sure that he has a delicious
donut).
At the same time, I am spending cherish
occasions with my family—parents, brothers and sister-in-laws, niece and nephew
and food. I will be serving three
Masses at All Saints and St. Francis parishes. It is a cool experience for both Fr. Paul and I to walk with
our brothers and sisters in other parishes in our diocese.
I would simply like to say thank
you for some touching experiences here.
At St. Thomas Aquinas, we have finished a mission for both the bell and
a new electronic system for the bells.
In the surface level, we did receive monies for this mission. But deeper though, is our relationships
with our parishioners—and it happened in only a few months! Our breakfasts, fall dinner, meetings
and conversations gelled our cookers, servers, advertisements, marketing,
announcements, food, relationships, parents, children, grandparents, etc.,
etc., etc. Congratulations and
thank you!
At St. Columban we are proud for
four little babies in the last few months. Thank you and congratulations to the little ones, their
siblings, their relatives, new or already grandparents and their parents. Praise God! As you already know, it is a beautiful moment to both see
and hear the angelic voices for our next generation.
Again, know of my prayers, thank
yous, and congratulations!
God Bless!
