These past three days I spent with my brother priests and our Bishop were truly grace-filled days (even though the weather was not so great) and we received much encouragement and insights from the presenter, Sherry Weddell of the Catherine of Siena Institute, as well as from our Bishop, James Checchio

I offered special prayers for all of you during Mass each day and I thank you for your prayers for us as we gathered for reflection, study, prayer and priestly fraternity.

  GOD IS SO GOOD to us -- all the time!

I want to take a moment to thank Jodie D'Angiolillo for leading prayer and offering a Reflection at our church each of the days I was away. People tell me her words were dynamic and spiritually nourishing and uplifting. So I am grateful that she was so ready and willing to joyfully share the gifts God has given her to minister to our community.
