June 29 is the Feast day of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is a special day in Rome and at Vatican City. On this day new Archbishops who have been appointed throughout the world receive the "Pallium" which is the wool piece that goes around their neck when they wear their liturgical vestments. I bring this up because our former bishop in the Diocese of Salina, Paul S. Coakley, who became Archbishop of Oklahoma City in February will receive his pallium. The pallium also shows collegiality and unity between our Holy Father and the Bishops. A word of congratulations to Archbishop Coakley and all who recieve the pallium from our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI. As we continue the mission of the Church, let us pray for the intercession of these two great saints, Peter and Paul.
On a personal note, I want to thank everyone for their prayers and best wishes. I am starting to feel better and some of the concussion symptoms are slowly going away. It will take time and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and patience! God Bless You!!!
