A new assignment decreed

Each time a priest receives a new ecclesiastical assignment he receives a decree from his Bishop which makes it official.

When I stopped in at my office yesterday morning I found the Decree of Appointment sitting on my desk.  The text of the decree reads as follows:
DECREE OF APPOINTMENT
By this decree, I appoint
THE REVEREND DAREN J. ZEHNLE
to graduate studies in canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome, with residence at the Casa Santa Maria of the Pontifical North American College, Rome, from Priest Secretary and Master of Ceremonies to the Bishop, and Associate Director of the Office for Vocations, effective July 1, 2013.
 /s/ Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki
Bishop of Springfield in Illinois 
 May 9, 2013
Springfield, Illinois 
 Now it will be filed away with the other Decrees of Appointment I have received.

  1. You are "appointed." We are "disappointed" you will be gone but are very happy for you.
