From Our Pastor ~ February 5, 2017
Dear Folks,
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I think I’ll just share a picture my ski trip. That is me in the orange jacket, of course! Also pictured are priest friends from North Carolina and Illinois. I have been organizing an annual ‘sacred ski trip’ for priests for 20 years (24 if you include the ones I organized in seminary)! We have had anywhere from 4 to 10 priests on this trip and treasure the friendship, prayer,
fraternity, and theological discussions that take place. So where am I as you read this? Hopefully enjoying a ‘bluebird day’ much like the one in this photo.
See you next weekend. I trust you’ll pray that I ski safely. I promise I’m praying for you.
Pax,
Fr. Mosimann
