I attended a workshop on preaching this morning by Rev. Msgr. Jim Telthorst. I have known Jim for 35 years and he has been a great mentor of mine in the field of liturgy. He is pastor in St. Louis. We shared a two-hour lunch and ran into another great mentor of mine, Fred Moleck from Pittsburgh. He has edited the GIA Quarterly for 26 years. I have written several articles for the publication throughout the years. Fred was also the musician at St. Joseph Church in South Bend, Indiana. These two men are true giants in the field of liturgy in the United States. So good to be with them again after many years. I owe a great deal of my education and perspective in the field of pastoral liturgy to both of them.

I am speaking at the National Association of Pastoral Musicians convention in Saint Louis this week. I will be presenting two workshops for clergy on preaching and presiding.

Sue Gerlach is our music director at Sacred Heart parish in Colorado Springs. Mark Williams was music director at Saint Andre Bessette Church ( Downtown Chapel) in Portland, OR. Mark and I worked together for about five years. So good to see so many people from across the country that I have known through the years.
