This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.

Anniversary of Lucy Goldsmith with Pax Christi Franciscans
The Pax Christi Franciscans is a group that organized in Greenwood, Mississippi in the Civil Rights movement by Father Nathaniel Machesky, a Franciscan priest who is a legend and an icon in the Civil Rights movement. The Franciscans still run St Francis of Assisi parish and school in the city of Greenwood. Lucy Goldsmith, a member of our parish, celebrated her 50th anniversary with that group. We had a mass and luncheon in our parish hall to celebrate this event. Natalie Gibbs and Marion Brown and their crew put together a very elegant luncheon. At least 25 members of the Pax Christi Franciscan group from across the state attended. Lucy had a wonderful celebration and a wonderful day.
