Installation as Pastor: Sunday September 1, 2013

I am so grateful today on the first anniversary of my installation as pastor of Sacred Heart Church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Holy Rosary. The year has gone by so fast! More people are getting involved, programs are being reformed and revitalized. I pray that we are all being drawn into the depths of the Holy Spirit’s care for us. I also pray that we are living the model of Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, standing among people who suffer. The Sacred Heart is not just a name of the parish, but a spirituality that consumes us in the mercy, love and hope of Christ Jesus. Today, especially, know of my pray for each parishioner, each visitor and all who will be invited to join us in this next year. Blessings to all, Ron

In the summer of 2013, I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to become pastor of three churches. After getting settled, I started to explore the three church buildings. I unlocked every closet door and sorted through sacristy drawers. I found a chasuble and several stoles that I left behind at the parish when I departed in 1987 after serving as associate pastor for three years. Continue reading
