As some of you may be aware, I have been dealing with some health issues for the past several weeks. I am currently working with my clinical team and receiving the care needed to set me on the path to recovery.
I am profoundly grateful to each of you for your continued prayers and support as I recover. I’m also incredibly appreciative to the priests and deacons who have stepped up to say Mass, hear confessions, and conduct prayer services in my absence, and to my staff for keeping the day-to-day running of the parish moving forward. I humbly ask that you continue to lift me in prayer—for healing, strength, and peace—as I focus on my recovery.
I will keep you updated on my progress, and I trust that God will continue guiding us all through this journey. Thank you for walking alongside me in faith, and please know that I am praying for each of you as well. I look forward to returning in short order and seeing all of you in person!
