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! I pray that God bless our fall season with great joy and lots of hot chocolate… This weekend the Church asks us to look at the idea of stewardship: sacrificing for the good of our parish family.

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 […]
I want to share with you all a neat thing that our Lord did in my life recently; although it starts with a sad thing. My mother Martha died a couple years ago after a long, hard fight with Alzheimer’s. Since that time, some members of my family and I have gotten together once a […]
