A SIGN OF THE TIMES?

When you have a Pope who pushes going to confession, colliding with a priest shortage, one inevitably begins to see postings like this! 



This was sent to me recently by a friend. 
I would say that Father is stressed, wouldn't you?

THE BISHOP'S GOT WHEELS!


MEET MIRACLE MAN! 

It was several months ago that I got an e-mail from my friend (pictured below) Bishop Jason Gordon the former bishop of Kingstown, SVG, (now bishop of Bridgetown, Barbados) in a tone so innocent sounding, "Father Ronald, the new bishop is going to need a car. See what you can do about it!" (He is not as innocent as he sounds, however! He knows exactly what he is doing!) Knowing him, I laughed to myself knowing that somehow it would happen because we both believe in miracles. 


Well, on June 30th, thanks to two generous donor couples, it happened! Bishop Gerard County, his successor in the Diocese of  Kingstown, got that new car! 


It's a Hyundai Santa Fe


The new car gets a good praying over, inside and out, by Bishop County himself! (If I had to drive the narrow, winding roads down there, and on the left side at that, I'd sprinkle it good! Actually, I'd even sprinkle myself!)


Daphne Paynter (the bishop's secretary), Bishop County and Sister Clare Harris stand proudly  in front of the new car that will serve the needs of the Diocese of Kingstown.


THANKS TO ALL WHO GENEROUSLY SUPPORT OUR MANY PROJECTS!
