I promised, for the second time, respect and obedience to my bishop and his successors. One year later I received a call saying something along the lines of “While you wouldn’t normally move after only one year, the Bishop needs you to go to St. Bede.”

What’s the lore behind how you started attending the church you are currently at?

[Father David Arellano @FatherArellano]

In three weeks, I'll be going on a pilgrimage to Paris and Lisieux, and I would love to take your prayer intentions. Feel free to follow this link or send a DM. Feel free to share with friends and family: https://t.co/vZ7ECqhele

Is this what the formators were referring to when they said "There are somethings you must live to know how to deal with them"?

JD is practicing Peruvian haggling. Is this the last step before placing an offer for the ostrich?

[JD Flynn @jdflynn]

Well, I got in argument with the flower seller for charging me el precio gringo.

She shrugged and pointed out that I am in fact a gringo.

A good evening cheering for @ThePrtyAnimals with some of the Diocesan Seminarians.

The life of a priest sometimes involves celebrating the Solemn Mass and Procession for Corpus Christi at 10, and then, 4 hours later, making balloon animals for the kids at the Parish Picnic.

[Father David Arellano @FatherArellano]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but did you know that God is madly in love with you. He loves you so much, that the more we try to understand it the more difficult it is to explain, because this side of eternity our minds can't possibly fully comprehend it.

When one of your best friends becomes your brother priest. Ad multos annos, Fr. Clark!

Now that all parishioners have been informed Icam announce that Bishop Knestout has appointed me Parochial Vicar of St. Bede in Williamsburg, VA. While there is great sadness in leaving BSCC I look forward to the graces the Lord has in store during this next assignment.

The surest sign this is a Catholic event: they’ve got the bingo machine set up.
