A little pre-Christmas note and I guess some clarification to stop our phones, emails and faxes from burning up! Albeit, it is very good to feel so cared about and I take this as a definite sign that our community is strong and well. Actually, this truly is what discernment is all about. It affirms in me, that our faith is well and alive. I am very happy here at Blessed Sacrament and given my druthers, would like to extend my pastor ship for another possible 3 years into my 25th ordination anniversary if that is what The LORD wants. I need your prayers. In the meantime, I am open to change if that is what HE wants (discernment). So even though Advent is supposed to shock us, it was not my intention to abandon your ship. Otherwise, it would have been said so with more emotion. Please rest assured that I look forward to your upcoming weddings, baptisms (not necessarily your funeral) but our celebrations of life into the future!
Affectionately,
Father Joe
