New Pastor

My home parish has a new pastor, Fr. Andrew Dudzinski. He told the parish in his sermon this last weekend that the hardest thing for a parish is to get a new pastor and that the hardest thing for a priest is to get a new parish. I thought that was a beautiful reflection on the life of the Church universal. Fr. Dudzinski noted that there are many things he will do the same as his brother priests, also that there are things he will do differently than his brother priests. More importantly he mentioned that the differences aren't necessarially one the right way, one the wrong way. It was a beautiful way for a priest to introduce himself to the parish. All in beautiful white vestments with either gold or silver thread and blue Marian trim. Thank you Bishop Higi.
