Yesterday I “returned to work” at the parish as I was covering Masses for the pastor. Our priests are on convocation this week so I volunteered to cover the parish.
Today continued my “job”. 🙂
One of the people at our condo, a fellow parishioner, took me to the church this morning. After Mass, I got some quick office work done and then went out to breakfast with two fellow parishioners. We went to Butter Maple Pancake House at the corner of Ridge and Calumet Avenue.
When I returned to the condo after breakfast and a nice visit with them, I got to work on a morning of reflection I am leading on Wednesday for the Seniors’ Group. I also spoke to the son of a person I am celebrating a funeral Mass for tomorrow.
It’s nice to be able to do some sacramental work without having to worry about the responsibility of running the parish. All joy, very little stress. I’ll take it.
