The Sunday Mass on June 18th will begin at 10:30 a.m., rather than 10:00 a.m., to allow Father Gary time to celebrate with his parishioners in Briggsville.
Dear Parishioners,
These next few weeks and months that follow will bring about many changes in our parish life. Some will be easy to adjust to; others will not be as easy. Nonetheless, changes are on the way. Immediate changes are evident: I will be leaving my role as your Pastor and Fr. Randy Timmerman will be welcomed to take over on July 1.
Change and transition are two different things, though. Sometimes we can’t control the “change” but we can always have some control over the transition. Endings and new beginnings, farewells and welcomes. Some happened quickly; others will happen more gradually. How we handle the transition will have every bearing on how successful the new beginning will be.
I am sending a link to a short video that I have found very helpful as I already begin to navigate the transitions that lie ahead. I have watched it several times, already, and have shown it to your parish leadership, as well. It is less than thirty-minutes and I think you might find it helpful, as well. Watch it; share it; talk about it. Save it to watch six-months from now and a year from now.
You will be in my prayers, and I ask that you keep me in yours.
