Return to Blog!!!!

I apologize for the long delay in getting another blog posted. Since my last entry, there was a lot going on in the parishes and school. Then, last week, I was able to go on a much needed break. I spent the week in North Little Rock, Arkansas visiting Father Tom. I am grateful for his friendship and his hospitality. It was a great time to get away and get the batteries recharged. Over the weekend, our parishes hosted our Mission Coop Appeal, and we were happy to welcome a lay missionary from the Maryknoll Missionaries. He talked about his experience in Kenya, our role as missionaries, and the commandment of love that Jesus gave to us in the gospel. Today, we celebrate the memorial so Saint Catherine of Siena. Her biography said that she was on fire with the love of God and others. We pray that we may be on fire with God's love and be an example to one another. Thank you for your patience and it is a joy to proclaim the Good News with the technology at our fingertips. We need to do our part to be missionaries, to live the love of God and neighbor, and proclaim the Good News, not just with words, but with our very lives!!!! God Bless You!!!!!!!!
