Pastor's Corner

If you followed my posts on Facebook, you probably think all I did in Assisi and Rome was eat!  That’s not true, and I want to share some of the spiritual highlights of my retreat (really!).

Now that you’ve had to look up the citation of this title (which will be no surprise to you!), I’m sure you’re thinking that this essay is all about Catholic Charities.  In a way it is, but in a way perhaps more important it isn’t.

As I write this, I’m in Assisi as part of my winter retreat.  I have been blessed with many moments of grace, and I want to share some of them with you to let you know what my time away means and does for me.

This Sunday is the Solemnity of the Epiphany.  Because it is a Sunday, tomorrow will be the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and the conclusion of our liturgical Christmas season.  We’ve been “cheated” out of another Sunday and some other days in-between for singing our carols.  Oh, well!
