Hi everyone! For those to whom I still owe return phone calls or other correspondence-- I apologize if I haven't gotten back to you yet. I have so many things on my list each night, that far be it from catching up, I'm rather in a mode of falling further behind: so each evening, I have to pluck the top two or three-- "what absolutely needs to happen tonight?"-- items, and leave the rest.

Looking ahead, I probably won't unbury myself this weekend or week, due to Holy Week planning and participation-- plus I have several obligations during Easter weekend itself. But the following weekend, things should clear up as I start to catch up on my backlog.

The diaconate orientation last Saturday went great! Ellyn and I were there all day. My friend, Dan, and I got to meet the other two men, and their wives. We learned a lot about Liturgy of the Hours, and what the education program will look like. Very much excited to take the next steps.
