It’s a reminder of the sacred trust I carry. My desire to fashion my life in accordance to the Gospel, and to nourish Christ's people from the riches of his grace. I don't always live out gracefully, and I need these prayerful reminders.

Lol. Would have lost me too.

Sorry for your loss, and for all the terrible pain, fear, and confusion created by our state of affairs. Sending you lots of love.

Did your heart open?

God is so Ephesian!

But God sees it all. God welcomes it all. And God longs to redeem it all with her boundless love.

I love Roger. This is a great photo.

Thank you. I am excited.

Thank you, Amy. I am excited and looking forward to this new chapter.

Please pray for me, and for the people of Grace in The Plains (they have no idea what they’ve done by calling me!). They will need your prayers, and I will surely need them too.

As I prepare to begin a new chapter as the next Rector of Grace in The Plains, I do so with a full heart. I go from Grace to Grace, confident that, in the words of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, “God’s grace is enough for me.”

I’m profoundly grateful for my time at Grace / La Gracia - a community that has loved me so well and taught me so much about what it means to be a priest. I love serving with and among the wonderful people of this congregation.

I am grateful for Heidi Kim's remarks:

Heidi Kim, from the Diocese of Minnesota, said she feared the committees on Dispatch of Business would be expected to work even harder so others would have more time for fellowship.

My prayer today is that Sheriff Casey and all Deputy Sheriffs may act with moral courage, uphold due process, and let compassion be their guiding compass."
October 21, 2025 at 8:46 PM
That promise leads us here today.
In these troubling times, may we stand firm in hope, guided not by fear, but by faith. The faith that tells us we belong to one another, and that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy or our community’s care.

As Christians, and people of faith, we have promised to strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being.

From my statement:
"Welcoming the stranger is not a political act. It is a sacred obligation. As people of faith we cannot turn away from the suffering of our neighbors. When faced with a choice between the demands of earthly power and the teachings of Jesus, we must follow Christ.

In the letter, we asked the Sheriff's Office to stop (1) holding people longer to allow for ICE to pick them up, (2) making courtesy calls to ICE, and (3) transferring people to ICE custody without judicial warrants.
October 21, 2025 at 8:45 PM
We hand delivered a letter signed by 24 local groups and leaders in Alexandria demanding that Sheriff Sean Casey ends his practice of voluntarily collaborating with ICE. We wanted to give it to Sheriff Casey, but were denied access and we delivered it to Deputy Sheriffs.
