Hello all!! My summer at Divine Mercy came to a close this past weekend. I was given the opportunity to thank all of the good Fathers (Fr. Michael Farrell, Fr. Karl Bergin, Fr. Ted O’Reilly), Sisters (Sr. Maura Bane, Sr. Mary Divilly), and Office staff for being so hospitable and welcoming; however, I was most thankful to the parishioners of DM for all of their support and prayers. By the end of my assignment, I really felt like a part of the community – the sign of a great parish! For the next few weeks, I will be resting from my time in “Little Ireland” – can’t get more Irish than being in a parish with 3 Irish priests, 2 Irish sisters, and an Irish seminarian.

Tomorrow, the seminarians from the Diocese of Orlando will begin convocation. The three day series of meetings, conferences, and communal prayer will culminate with the sharing of a meal with Bishop Thomas Wenski. I have no idea what Fr. Miguel, Sr. Kathleen, and Juanita have in store for us, but I am sure whatever they arrange will be meaningful and inspirational.

Please pray for the seminarians of the Diocese of Orlando as we take part in our convocation and please pray those entrusted with the care of “raising” seminarians – Fr. Miguel, Sr. Kathleen, Juanita.

Don’t forget to pray the Novena to St. John Vianney!!! http://www.susurrationes.com
