This week I received an announcement from the Bishop that many folks in the parish have been asking about:

“I announce to you that upon freely petitioning the Holy Father, Colin Davis has been dispensed from the obligations of the clerical state (laicized). While he is no longer in active priestly ministry, he remains a Catholic in good standing and greatly appreciates your continued prayers for him”.

Over the last year, I have spoken with so many of you who expressed gratitude for his ministry here and concern for him. I have passed on to him your prayers and support in this time of transition and I know that he is grateful for them.

I am grateful for his time with us here in the parish, and for the good he did for so many people during his time in priestly ministry. Let us keep him in prayer as he now moves forward with his life.

Pax et Bonum,

Father John Mosimann
