This Saturday the Church (the living Body of Christ) will come together and with the power of the Holy Spirit, Bishop Scanlan will ordain Jim to the Sacred Order of the Priesthood. Jim will be able to open his heart and respond fully to the call God placed upon him to serve God's people as a priest.
We at St. Andrew's are so thrilled to be his sponsoring parish and to be walking this part of his journey with him.
Please come and share this life-changing moment with Jim this Saturday. Then on Sunday, Jim will be with us at St. Andrew's celebrating his first Eucharist. Blessings abound!

Loving God, we thank you for fathers. We thank you for biological fathers, adopted fathers, and fathers in spirit. We thank you for fathers who work hard every day to help fulfill the needs of their families, who fix broken things and teach us how to do it ourselves, who embrace us and guide us, who love us even when they don't understand us. We know they reflect and embody your love for us as our heavenly Father. Comfort those of us who miss our fathers this day, and strengthen and bless those fathers who work so hard to love, protect, and nurture their families this day and every day. Amen.
