Last week I began to share some of the plan & the vision for where we are going, specifically with the Mass schedule. As I mentioned last week, please know how much love & devotion I know that you have for the Mass & that I have as well.

As we enter into this period of Ordinary Time, as Fr. Clyde & I announced back in December, are preparing to enter into an anything but ordinary time in the life of both parish communities. This weekend, I wanted to start to share with you some of the vision & the plan for both of our parishes going forward. My plan is not, at this moment, to share specific changes, primarily because I am in the beginning stages of figuring out what the exact changes will be.

As we continue in our journey of this new year, I wanted to take a moment to answer a question that I’ve heard about how I mention the names of the Saints in the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass. As you’ve likely noticed, when I celebrate Mass I always mention the names of both parish patrons, St. Vincent de Paul & St. Patrick in the Eucharistic Prayer.

  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! In the midst of all the activity that these Christmas days bring with them, I wanted to take the opportunity in today’s column to say thank you! It’s something that while I always feel it, I don’t always remember to say it, so again, thank you!   Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
