You know you’re in a rural parish when you get yelled at by a bear during a last rites call

I think my seminarian is about to get eaten by a bear

Managed to forget my Mass kit while I was traveling, but luckily Fr. Cassidy Stinson graciously welcomed me to his parish to concelebrate

It’s official! Forgiven is out in the world! (photo is from the day it arrived 😁) This little book is a guide to everything you need to know about confession & the Examen prayer. Sr Orianne & I wrote it bc we always get nervous for confession, so this helped us a lot!

Controversial idea, but what if the Church instead supported the arts and artists to create sacred images that were actually made with prayer and intention

Baptized another baby today. Original sin got absolutely wrecked

I wish everyone was as motivated to be in the presence of God as the toddler who made a run for the sanctuary at Mass today

Nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked People will remember: - God made you to know Him - to love Him - to serve Him in this world - and to be happy with Him forever in the next

Remembering all of you in my prayers this weekend at the Daughters of St Paul Media Apostle retreat 🙏

Me: "homework is banned." "...but Father, you aren't in charge of a school" me: "BANNED, I say!"

Sunset at the convent.

if Catholicism is to be relevant, it must be public: in service to the poor, in support for victims of abuse, helping single mothers. it must build institutions that form and support family life

By my calculations, the total number of Catholics attending my parish has increased about 10% in the past year from conversions and baptisms alone. Praise the Lord

This weekend, I announced our new adult sacramental initiation program - part of the challenge to the parish is to take the initiative to make this kind of invitation. Often it really is that simple

The Pauline spirituality and charism have completely changed my life and priesthood. If you don't know about it, you should.

Let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

This multiverse stuff is getting out of hand
