I'm eagerly looking forward to arriving at St. Ann's the first week in July. My only sister is celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary in my hometown of Hoxie, KS on June 30th, so I plan to arrive at St. Ann's sometime in the afternoon of July 1. I'll try to settle in and look around the place July 2-5, including a few daily Masses, but then I'll need to head to Nebraska for a Jayhawk wedding in Grand Island, followed by my annual 8 day silent retreat in South Dakota with my spiritual director.
So I'm sorry to miss my first weekend of July 6/7 with you, but will plan on returning for Masses July 13/14 and will be around as much as I can be the rest of July.
Thank you to Fr. Craig and some others who are helping me out so I can honor these previous commitments, and thank you for understanding!
Know of my prayers for all, and see you soon!
