Here come the Saints

Hello again.  I'm not sure how many of you are still checking the pages of The Running
Priest.  I know it has been a long time between posts but things have been happening
behind the scenes.

The week of September 24, the large window over the main doors of the Chapel of Saints Peter
and Paul is set to be installed.  The theme of the window is "The Supper of the Lamb"
referring to the apocalyptic image of Christ's Eucharistic sacrifice.  It promises to be
truly beautiful.

The title of this post refers to the remaining windows depicting a procession of the
Saints which we hope to have installed in time for the first anniversary of the dedication of the chapel
on December 8.

As you can see things are revving up again so stay tuned!!!!!!!

Now it's Easter

Hello,

Sorry for the lack of posts but it's been a little busy since I last posted on March 11.

Speaking of busy..............the pictures say it all. Pope Benedict says hello to all the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul supporters!!!!!

Lenten Waiting

The Supper of the Lamb window over the main doors of the Chapel is in production. I'll try to update as much as possible as it develops.

We also await the announcement of our 4th bishop. This makes one both nervous and excited as we enter into these early days of our next 25 years as a diocese, a "local Church" of the universal Catholic Church. I'll try to use my blog for updates regarding developments as our new bishop begins to shepherd us.

As we pray during these Lenten days for our own renewal, for our families and for our 4th bishop let us embrace Mary's response to the angel.....FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA........thy will be done, echoed by Christ himself in the garden before his crucifixion.

This phrase echoes through the ages as THE response of the Christian disciple. Let us embrace it as we continue our Lenten journey.

God Bless.

All's Quiet

Just thought I would post a brief message on the blog. The dedication of the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul brings to a close the blog's focus on that effort. There are still some stained glass windows to be completed and installed and I will keep you up to date as they develop.

I'll probably try to share an occasional picture and post with images of the Chapel in action also.

Beyond that I'll be pondering where the Blog goes next.

Thanks for all your support.

First Christmas at the Chapel

The Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul celebrates the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ for the first time, December 25, 2011. We pray for God's special blessings for all who helped to make this beautiful Chapel a reality.

Finishing Touches

Remember to walk these last days of Advent in prayer as the business of the season tempts us to run instead!!!!!!
