Greetings in Christ, all! Don’t forget that, in our Advent Season, the Church invites us to be sure to get to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We’ve got three priests working the confessionals and we’ve expanded the times to come. Make sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to receive God’s loving mercy. Between our […]
Greetings in Christ! I am back at Holy Family and St. Mark today and so blessed to be home. In the end, the procedure on my knee could not have gone better. I should be able to ditch the cane soon and hopefully be genuflecting again shortly after that! Your prayers, kindness, patience and cards […]
Greetings in Christ, all! I am typing this up a couple weeks ahead of its appearance in the bulletin so I won’t be addressing anything recent. The timing of it all is pretty good, as it gives me a chance to catch you up on the situation with my knee. So, a couple Fridays ago, […]
Greetings in Christ! I’m typing this one up a few weeks ahead of time, so there won’t be any “current events” or anything like that. I’m taking this space to honor my favorite holiday this week: Thanksgiving. I love this holiday and I’m very excited to host it at the rectory, I’ve never been able […]
Greetings in Christ!

Greetings in Christ, all! We are officially in my favorite time of year: fall. I love the colors and the beauty of it all, but most of all, I love the temperatures. So, I wanted to address the Restoring the Temple Campaign with you all, but before I do, I have some joyful news to […]
Greetings in Christ, all! Last weekend, we heard the sad news that Fr. Dan is being transferred to Durand and Gaines: times of transition are always hard and I encourage us to pray for Fr. Dan, for his two new parishes and that God sends us more priests. I was very touched and happy with […]
Greetings in Christ! I continue to move along through this new assignment, learning as much as I can and praying for wisdom. I consider it a great blessing that I get to serve these two beautiful parish families and am enjoying our prayer together at Mass. As some of you may know, I was not […]
(Editor’s note: the above portion of the message from Fr. was missed by me last week. I apologize to him and to you!) Greetings in Christ, all! I want to thank you all for your prayers and support while I conducted the Convocation for the Priests of the Diocese of Marquette. It was truly exhausting […]
