    • A Priest's Letter

Easter 2011

The early spring of 2011 was a challenging time for me.  I was Vicar for Clergy, living at St. Rita Parish as "priest moderator."  I had my annual checkup and bloodwork. and, to my surprise, I had an elevated PSA.  A biopsy was recommended, and then surgery.  After a brief recovery (in comfort, at the home of Lori and Colby), I returned to St. Rita shortly before Easter.  Holy Week was a challenge, but I made it through.  These pictures were taken at a lovely Easter gathering at Colby and Lori's.  Shortly after Easter I learned I was being reassigned to St. Mary's Cathedral as pastor.
