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 […]
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 […]

Greetings in Christ, all! What a wonderful summertime this is…although I do love winter, I’m always up for sunshine. A reminder that Holy Family Parish Offices are closed on August 22nd / 23rd because so many people will be traveling to Kansas to see Bishop-Elect Jerry’s ordination. If you are not going, but want to […]
Greetings in Christ, all! I’m typing this bulletin article on the last day of my retreat/vacation and things went very well. Right around this time every year, I go on a time away with Fr. Geoff. Fr. Geoff and I grew up together and have been basically inseparable since we were 14 years old. He […]
