The order has given the brothers new assignments. Some brothers will be continuing their work and their new assignment is to continue where they are ministering. I was certain I was going to be leaving Vermont, but our new provincial accepted another parish in Pittsford, Vermont called, St. Alphonsus.

I must admit, I do not know a lot about St. Alphosus, but I plan on learning more about him in the near future. I have been to this parish in the past to do help-outs and have enjoyed it. However, it is not a very large church, I believe it holds about a hundred and fifty people. So the Capuchins in Vermont now work with three parish's: St. Peters, St. Dominic's and St. Alphonsus. Starting August 8th, I will be the administrator of St. Alphonsus, and another brother, Fr. Tom will be pastor of St. Peters and St. Dominics. The parishioner's at St. Alphonsus are asking me who will be their pastor, and I keep telling them that Jesus will be their pastor...and good Shepherd...and I will be the administrator! I have provided picture of St. Alphonsus below.

What a sweet looking place. Blessings to you on this leg of your journey.
ReplyDeleteThanks Allison, good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteCool!! I'll have to try and swing by there sometime!! (I've always wanted to see that parish.)
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany, it would be great to see you but I will not be there until August 6th. Make sure you bring your Mom and Dad.
ReplyDeleteOh I will - and that's fine anyway. I'm going to be gone for the next month. I'm leaving for the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha, for some surgery. (I'd really appreciate prayers!)
ReplyDeleteYou Got it and enjoy the institute - that is great news and I think you are right where God wants you.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your pictures, Brother!
ReplyDeleteIf this Saint Alphonsus is the same as Saint Alphonsus Liguori, there's some very inspiring reading to be found. He had an apostolate a lot like yours.
I'm SOOOO glad you're staying in this area!
Thank God!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well in your new assignment. (I also hope for the day when we see Franciscans return to Rochester, N.Y.!)
ReplyDeleteHey Lee - you never know when the Capuchins might suffle off to Buffilo, but I have not heard any plans yet, but keep praying for it. Just remember...be care of what you pray for.
ReplyDeletecongratulations and God's blessings! PAX!
ReplyDeletep.s. do you still need rosaries from time to time?
Thanks Tara, good to hear from you and thanks for the care package you sent a while ago. I have been so busy I never got around to saying thank you. Sure, I can always use more rosaries. I gave a lot out at the feast of the assumption.
