February 2 - 

I'm grateful to Fr. Don Williams for leading our weekend Masses and offering me a break before Lent. He came from Scranton specifically for this purpose. During this week (February 3 - 7), there will be no weekday Masses at St. Lawrence or St. Boniface. Our supply of priests is stretched especially in the winter when retired priests are living elsewhere. That is something to contemplate as we face the diocesan future planning, Vision 2020.
While we must always foster vocations in our families and parishes, the immediate years require answers now. Think of how your volunteering will make our parishes vibrant communities that are less dependent on Father. Pax!
