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! I am typing this bulletin article while on break from the retreat I am offering for the priests of the Diocese of Marquette. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL up here and this group of priests are a really nice group to talk with. A couple interesting notes: the Diocese of Marquette is the […]
Greetings in Christ, all! This hot, hot summer will soon be transitioning into Fall and this fat, happy man can’t wait! I want to thank you all so much for your love, support and patience both with the crisis in our Church and with my many, many limitations. As I adjust to two new parishes […]
Greetings in Christ, all! I’m writing you this bulletin a bit late; I wasn’t able to get it in until Wednesday for a lot of reasons, but I think I see the Lord’s hand in the timing. Since the last bulletin I sent you all, two very significant events happened in our Church and I […]
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: I am writing this to you due to the recent removal of Archbishop Theodore McCarrick from ministry. Once again, the sins of a cleric have hurt victims, scandalized the faithful, raised anger in many hearts, and brought ill-repute upon the Catholic Church.

Greetings in Christ, all! What a wonderful summertime this is…although I do love winter, I’m always up for sunshine.

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 […]
Greetings in Christ! I pray that God is blessing your summer days with joy, peace and life-giving times with family. I wanted to take this time to give you a couple important updates. First, please note that both Father Dan and I are going away for retreat. We are not going together; we simply discovered […]
It’s been quite the week…I’ve learned a tremendous amount and am moving right along. I am grateful to be a part of two such loving, welcoming Parish Families. I wanted to share with you a couple of thoughts for this week. I’ve been a priest 20 years now and one of the most important things […]
Greetings in Christ, all! Well, I just completed my first week at our two parish families and it has been quite the journey! It’s kind of funny, but just 11 days ago, I was tooling along in Lenawee County, never envisioning that I would move or that my life would be any different than it had […]
