Essie Halls RIP

-
Essie Halls passed away on Monday. She and her husband Art coordinated the St. Joseph Prayer Ministry retreat for many years which was held in Fort Warden. I was the retreat master in the a couple of years and always enjoyed the event and their great company. She will be terribly missed.

There will be a funeral in Spokane and one in Sequim at a later date which I will post.

Please keep the family in your prayers. Thank you!

Someone gave me a copy of a great new book by Sherry A. Weddell. It's called "Forming Intentional Disciples — The Path to Knowing And Following Jesus". I highly recommend this book. It gives you a lot to think about and how we need to get back on track with the mission of the Church. Here's a quote from Pope Benedict XVI which is in the book: Faith is above all a personal, intimate encounter with Jesus, and to experience his closeness, his friendship, his love; only in this ways does one learn to know him ever more, and to love and follow him ever more. May this happen to each one of us.

Retreat

I enjoyed the retreat I conducted this past weekend. It was also great to see a few faces from my old parish. I came home and found out that one of the pipes in the church broke during the Spanish Mass. It made a huge mess so we had Mass last night in the gymnasium as well as this morning. I sure hope things will be back up and running for Our Lady of Guadalupe celebration on Thursday. I have recorded the homily and it is available here. Have a great day!
