I can't believe it is already June! And I cannot believe that I have not posted in this blog since February! I suppose I can give a number of excuses as to why I was busy and did not have the time to update the blog. However, that is not important.
What is important is that we once again have made it through the season of Lent and have celebrated 50 days of Easter! The Lord is risen! He is alive in our midst.
Everyday, we experience the cross; everyday, we experience new life. This is the Paschal Mystery in our lives. This is our faith.
I am experiencing the joys of Easter in parish life. For nine weeks this summer, I have been assigned to St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Dingman's Ferry, Pennsylvania. This active and dynamic parish community is nestled in the beautiful forests and hills of the Pocono Mountains. I am so looking forward to being here with the People of God in the far Northeastern corner of PA.
My hope is to continue to blog throughout the summer and share some of my experiences in the parish.
Also, if you get a chance, check out the blog I had a small hand in developing for the Vocations Office for the Diocese of Scranton: www.scrantonvocations.blogspot.com .
Please pray for me! And pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life!
