SCENES
from
THE THREE-PARISH MISSION
"SENT TO SHINE"
November 9-11, 2015
"It was a huge success!"
My connection to the Diocese of Owensboro goes way back. My family lived very close to the Louisville-Owensboro diocesan line. If I had not gone to the seminary, I would have attended St. Romuald High School in Hardinsburg. My sister attended Mount St. Joseph Academy for a while and later St. Romuald High School.Bishop William Medley was my associate pastor at the Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville for several years. He was a perfect choice for the Diocese of Owensboro. I hope they know how blessed they are to have him!

THANKS!
I would like to thank all those who planned and executed the many details to make this parish mission a huge success! I was so warmly welcomed, people came out in droves and their generosity to the "mission van project" was amazing. A special thanks to the priests of all three parishes who were open to trying a tri-parish mission. I think it helped them imagine even more cooperative efforts in the future.
