I generally don’t go Times Square when I’m in New York (I learned long ago it’s just a gross display of American Capitalism), but I made a rare exception today for a lovely 9/11 requiem at St. Mary the Virgin

We have an outdoor shed type thing where we store our trash and recycling bins, and, well...

I'm going to assume you're not in the US. See the below picture I took from Google under the attendance column.

Compare, for example, the 1979 examination for a priest vs. the 1928. The 1928 is oriented toward care of souls in a way the 79 isn't. Much of the time I was using the line, 'In all things you are to nourish Christ's people from the riches of his grace' as a way to talk about pastoral care

I was on the East Coast for a wedding, so I got some good old fashioned anglo-catholicism (ft. the fire alarm going off after the Te Deum)

"...that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge..."

My spouse and I inherited this very cute black kitten (named Lupe, after Our Lady of Guadalupe) when we moved into the rectory of my parish, and she has taken to hiding around the corner to 'scare' me every time she can by jumping on my ankle and giving me kisses.

I found an early set of my parish's silver in a closet, so I spent my day today polishing and getting the tarnish off of them. It was a great pre-Holy Week stress reliever

I had the honor of officiating VTS's TDOR requiem this year, which means they got enough high church nonsense to last them a lifetime

Said the first All Souls' Requiem at my parish in living memory tonight! Always a gift to get to serve with my fiance AND to have a guest Deacon join us (Yes I know we didn't use unbleached beeswax....that's a goal for next year)

I'm super excited to share that I've been called to be the next Priest-in-Charge of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Phoenix, AZ! St. Mary's is a loving and inclusive Anglo-Catholic parish, and I can't wait to join them in July! Pics from my visit in March :)
