2009 is a busy year

It has been over a month since I last blogged. Just when it seemed things were slowing down at the end of the year the new year began and we went into a whirlwind of activity. We had over 30 new registrations in a ten day period. The RCIA, RCIC and RCIT classes had talks on the Eucharist, reconciliation and the latter two groups celebrated the sacrament of reconciliation for the first time this week. To add to that, I have been diagnosed with kidney stones a week ago last Sunday and have been out for almost a week. Lastly, Archbishop Naumann made his pastoral visit on January 24th and 25th so we spent the prior week preparing for his visit. Other than that it has been pretty quiet.

The next couple of weeks look to be extremely busy as well. Fr. Frank leaves for a two week vacation on Monday so until Feb. 13th I have both the 6:15 and 8:15 AM Masses each day of the week and guest priests visiting on Sundays so I must be present for all the weekend Masses as well. Add to that the fact that I will be doing all registrations and appointments in which a person needs to speak to a priest and I will be close to dead by the time I get to Feb. 14th.

So, I am not going to make any promises BUT I will try to blog once a week in February. We do have much to talk about especially in the areas of the dignity of life, our new political administration, the struggling economy and the coming of Lent. Until next time...God bless.
