Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, O, Canada! The time has come for my annual trip to Canada with my priest friends. Priests love their parishes, but time away is important to reconnect with the Lord and relax a bit. The beautiful surroundings, the peace and quiet, and priestly fellowship help me recharge the spiritual batteries. There will be a few different priests covering Masses here this weekend. Please know that while away I offer Mass every day and particularly pray for our parishioners.

The beautiful surroundings, the peace and quiet, and priestly fellowship help me recharge the spiritual batteries. There will be a few different priests covering Masses here over next two weekends. Please know that while away I offer Mass every day and particularly pray for our parishioners. I do have access to internet up there, but only intermittently. Any emails, etc. I will most likely not respond until I return Aug 30.

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, What a Great Weekend! Thank you to all who helped with the Parish Potluck last weekend. We had many volunteers get everything ready and stuck around to clean up after the event. Thanks to all who participated by bringing in deserts and sides, and thanks Dcn. John for grilling! I brought Fr. Thomas Blau, OP, our missionary preacher, over for dinner and he too extends his joyous thanks for the great time had had here at St. Paul’s.
