Thanks for the Affirmation

   I want to thank all who affirmed me in various ways on the milestone occasion of the 40th Anniversary of my Ordination to the Catholic Priesthood earlier this month. A note of hearty thanks goes out to persons who planned and orchestrated the celebrations held in both St. Mary and Resurrection Parishes.

   Your presence at one of the receptions, your prayers, cards and gifts mean a lot to me.

   Whenever I am honored, I see this as a special opportunity to promote the Priesthood. A member of one of our Parishes shared with me that his son is studying philosophy and theology at a Catholic university. He requested that I pray for his son. What a happy request this is for me. 

   Nothing can make me and I am sure other priests happier than to become aware that in the parishes in which we serve, young men are looking into the possibility of serving our Lord’s People as priests. Many of us want to be reassured that when we are too old to serve as we have been doing this for so many years that the Lord will raise up others from the midst in which we are serving to take our place. 

Thanks again for the various ways in which you have affirmed me as a priest. Take care and God
Bless!

 

Love in Christ,

Fr. Nelson Beaver
