I am with our priests this week as we review the theology and structures of celebrating the Holy Mass. Fr Paul Turner of the Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph (MO) is our expert guide. This is timely as we prepare for the Eucharistic Revival in the U.S.
A blessed weekend. Saturday’s Cathedral priesthood ordination of Fr Jakupko and diaconate for Dcn Boone and Dcn Morand. Today Confirmation of 108 at Holy Spirit Church in Fishers. Thanks be to God.
