As I drove into Quincy today just after Noon, my cell phone rang. It was Bishop Lucas calling to say that my appointment as Pastor of Sacred Heart parish in Virden and of St. Patrick parish in Girard will be effective September 15th.
I am very happy to be able to spend the summer here in Effingham. This will give me a bit more time for goodbyes and will make coordinating schedules a lot easier. I'll post more on the new parishes as the day draws nearer.
Grandma had already gone into the cath lab by the time I arrived at the hospital, as I expected she would. Though I wasn't able to see her, I did have a good visit with my aunt before returning to Effingham.
Now, I'm tired and ready for bed. Good night!
