You Are Back!

5/23/2020

 
In the past two months I have grown an even greater appreciation for all those who volunteer their ministry to the parishes I serve at.  I will be so pleased to have many of you return to the church and take back your service role.  I learned that caring for plants and even animals is something that can not be rushed.  There was a ton of technology struggles I had to overcome to livestream and record Mass and even put live or video content on social media.  I never realized all the places our disciples traveled to in Acts of the Apostles as I read them at St. Fabian’s daily Mass. I got to sing birthday greetings to staff who found my voice “entertaining.”  I learned where many of you hide your “stuff” and it is likely I did not put it back correctly.  -sorry about that.  Keeping a parish operational takes far more work than I ever realized.  We could not do it without so many of you.

In all of this, I have enjoyed “lunch not at my desk” and something called “daily exercise” thanks to the absence of evening meetings.  The Holy Sprit had his hand in making me attend daily Mass at to record and twice on weekends.  I also have an appreciation for what a balanced life of prayer, work, relaxing and exercising is like.  And I won’t be quick to return to my old ways.  I hope you found some blessing in this experience.

For those of you who need to protect yourself by isolating, we will continue to remember you in prayer.  Please let us know if there is anything you need even if it is a phone call to chat.  We will continue to put the Mass on the website.  Participate if you can, in the live version.  We have a little online community started and it is great to see those names pop up as “viewing” each week.

Looking forward to seeing your faces even if it is from behind a mask.
