Dear Partners in Ministry,
Hello all, and happy Saint Anthony's Day to all who celebrate! The Bad Gateways have been breached, and we're back online. Thanks for your patience.
I'm going to be using up some much-needed vacation days over the next two weeks, but I'll be here for all weekend Masses, our Cantor Night and choir rehearsal, and will be on call for funerals as needed. I am going to take a break from the blog during that time too, so this edition will cover the next few weeks' worth of stuff for you (everything I can remember, anyway).
Also: I do intend to send that email survey regarding our upcoming sessions for liturgical ministries, although funerals and weddings are asking a fair bit of my time at the moment. Stay tuned...
Finally: we've been asking for feedback regarding our worship life for two weeks now, and the vast majority of it has been exceedingly positive; your ministry, and the ways in which you engage your ministry, are clearly a big part of that positive experience! Thanks to each and every one of you for all the ways in which you help us fulfill our mission.
Peace be with you,
Tony

A reminder that we're back in business on June 27! I'll have an agenda for everyone in the next week or so.
