The Pastors Desk – September 1st
Our bulletin publisher, on the occasion of me announcing my retirement from the pastorate at St Francis, asked me to write a short autobiography. I was willing enough to comply, but was I surprised by the many unusual thoughts and emotions! Some were comforting, others unsettling. Strange, but I can’t complain; I have received four extensions of my terms; “mandatory” retirement is supposed to be at 75 years of age. In October I will be 80 years old, yet the awareness that I am finishing my last assignment is still not really welcome. Some parishioners broke into tears when they got the news – I responded with my own right on the spot! More on related topics next week.
