Our readings from 2 Corinthians 5:14-17, Psalm 63, John 20: 1-2, 11-18 and Fr. Paolo’s homily provide a perspective from which to consider as our pilgrimage continues.
And speaking of Fr. Paolo, can it be only a year ago that we celebrated with great joy the second ordination in our parish history? Last July 25th, we welcomed Fr. Paolo, rejoicing in his priestly ordination with all the festivities we could manage in the time of pandemic. We’ve been fortunate to gather the first fruits of his ministry. We’ve put his analytical, programming, and engineering skills and experience to work. We’ve enjoyed his conversation in the Season of Creation series, his Reflexiones in our web Capilla, in his classroom visits, and more. We’re grateful for his thoughtful homilies, engaged presence, and compassionate care. Take a few minutes to read his thoughts on his first year of ministry in From Padre Paolo and look back at the events of his Grand Ordination.
