We're fresh back from the road and unpacking from a FANTASTIC and VERY BLESSED weekend with family & friends in Peoria, IL, where we were honored to be a part of the festivities surrounding the Ordination of Father Robert Lampitt to the Holy Priesthood.
Robert & I grew up together in scouting, and Robert was a year behind me (& two years behind Suzanne) in school at Holy Family and GCHS. Yesterday, he was ordained a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Peoria.
We drove up on Friday with a van-full of luggage, Suzanne, me, Thomas Xavier, Matthew James, and Michael's parents. And we returned home today.
It was a fantastic weekend, full of the movement of the Holy Spirit, of prayer and reflection, and of wonderful time together as family, about which many words can be written - so I'm going to organize it into a series of related blog posts this coming week. Look for the following topics:
- The Royal Priesthood
- The Heavenly Banquet
- My Vocation: Husband & Worker
- Old Meets New
God bless everyone - it's good to be home. Please join us in saying prayers for the new priest, Father Robert Lampitt.
