I am well aware of the fact that Fr. Raymond’s unexpected leave has caused much confusion and raised many questions. I know that there are a multitude of rumors and stories in the parish about my status. It must be understood that Fr. Raymond is the pastor of Saint Dominic’s. However, to give him the necessary time to take care of his health, he was given leave. While away from our parish, Fr. Raymond will be able to focus on his personal needs, undistracted by pastoral responsibilities. This time away will be a blessing for him and, please God, for all of us.
Since the life if the parish continues on, I have been named Administrator Pro Tempore. In a letter dated June 10, 2009, Cardinal Mahoney informed me of his approval of this assignment, one which came after being nominated by the provincial, Fr. Emmerich Vogt. This means that while Fr. Raymond is away from our parish, I have all of the canonical authority and responsibility of the pastor, though without the title and position. I will be able to do whatever is necessary for the stability, well-being, and progress of our parish. It is my privilege and joy to see this special responsibility as a way of glorifying God and serving you in living out our Christian vocation here in St. Dominic’s Parish. It is my hope and prayer that the time of my administration will be marked by openness and consultation. As I have said before in the pulpit, we are a family and together we will meet this challenge. While I am administrator pro tempore, I welcome your thoughts, hopes, your dreams about our parish. Be assured of my prayers for you, for all of us, during this time.
Also, please continue to keep Fr. Raymond in your prayers. If you would like to send him a card and let him know of your prayers, please send those cards to the parish office and we will forward them to Fr. Raymond. I am confident that he will appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding is what is for all of us a very challenging time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

PRO-LIFE MINISTRY
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24—7:30 P.M.
ADULT ED BUILDING
THIS WILL BE THE LAST MEETING UNTIL SEPTEMBER. ALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND.
OPEN TO GOD’S WORD
Today the Church begins a stretch of Ordinary Time that will last for five months. The liturgical vigor of the Easter Season and the feasts of the Holy Trinity and the Body and Blood of Christ settles down into this long stretch that opens before us. During Ordinary Time the life of Christ is broken open for us by one of the Gospel writers. This year we have been hearing the Gospel of Saint Mark. We begin this week by listening to his account of the Lord Jesus calming the stormy seas. Through this miracle Jesus tests the faith of his followers. As we settle into Ordinary Time let us be open to the power of the word of God to effect change within us. Let us pray that our faith will be strengthened as we grow more and more into faithful disciples.
