Welcome to the Church

What an awesome weekend. I had the 5:00 Saturday Mass as well as the 9:00 and 12:00 Masses Sunday. We tend to have a congregation of 600 to 800 for each Mass and that held true this weekend too. After Mass, I met more parishioners for the first time and some that I had met before. I even remembered the names of a few of them!!!

I also got to administer my first baptisms at PoP. I baptized 5 newborn children bringing them into the Catholic Church. Seeing the excited look on the parent's faces and the joy of their families is invigorating. Granted, one baby spit up on me a little, but...hey...my shirt will wash :-)

This week looks to be busy, but I have a somewhat established routine that will keep things more organized (hopefully). Plus, Carolyn and Lisa, our office secretaries, are a wonderful help in keeping Fr. Frank and I on task and sane.

I did want to note that with the Masses and other activities on Sundays, I will rarely blog that day. I will blog sometimes on Saturday mornings, but I will almost always blog on at least Mondays and Thursdays as well as other times during the week whenever the Spirit moves me. Until next time...God bless.
