Installation as Lector by Archbishop Lucas

Here is a picture of Archbishop Lucas and myself. While he was Bishop of Springfield he installed me as a lector in the Spring of 2008 at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary.

Steubenbille Mid America Conference

This past weekend I had the honor and privilege of attending a "Steubie" conference with three thousand teens. Our group took four busloads of teens and adults, which was about 206 in total. I must say that the Holy Spirit was certainly present and recognized by all. It was a powerful weekend and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this great event. Here is a picture of my small group. For more pictures clikc here.

Most Rev. Robert J. Carlson- Archbishop of St Louis

Archbishop Carlson stopped by the seminary today to meet everyone. I happen to be a part of this great moment and wanted to share it with everyone. Here is a picture of the Archbishop shaking hands with each of us.

Acolyte Installation

I am alive! You were probably beginning to wonder what happended to me. It has been a long time since I found time to post to my blog, but I realized this morning that I need to get back into the habit of posting updates.

Yesterday, I was installed as an Acolyte with my calssmates. It was truly a blessed day and I thank God for the continued blessings he bestows on me daily. Here is a picture of me with Most Reverend Michael Jackels, bishop of Wichita, who was the principal celebrant at the liturgy. Blessings and peace to you!

It has been a long time

A big shout out to all those who visit my blog. It has been a long time since I have posted anything. I am bummed that I have not kept up with my blog like I had initially intended. I have tons of stuff to blog about so be patient and keep checking in on my updates. I pray that you have had a restful summer thus far and are looking forward to some cool weather, though it may be awhile yet. Thank you for your continued prayers and support and may God bless you and your family.

With a joyful heart,

Andy
