I am returning to my regular parish duties and activities following my recent hip replacement surgery.  As I do so, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the many expression of concern and support that so many of you sent to me, and for the prayers that I know contributed to my healing.  A special word of thanks to those who so generously provided meals for me during this time of recovery.

I also want to acknowledge our parish staff, who kept things running smoothly, and my brother priests, who covered my masses.  I am most grateful to have such dedicated people to count on to see that our parish ministries are faithfully provided.

As we continue our communal journey of faith, I am grateful to God to be able to be a part of this journey with you, and hope that you will always feel welcomed to come to me with any concerns or needs you wish to discuss.
