As you can tell, the blog activity has slacked off recently. Mostly, this is due to this bishop’s summer slow down. I’ll try to be a bit more frequent again soon. In the meantime, here are some pictures from a recent visit to one of my former parishes as “Fr. Paul”.
I was back in Indiana for a week the end of June, and celebrated Mass at St. John the Evangelist in downtown Indianapolis. Ironically, this was the same weekend I said “goodbye” as their pastor one year ago. No one would have guessed then I would return so quickly to celebrate with them as a bishop.
