Off to the Diocesan Convocation in Southaven

     Monday afternoon, after I have the morning mass and after I visit a few sick and shut-ins, I will travel to Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, to attend our diocesan convocation.  We only go every couple of years - this is the third time for me since I was ordained a priest in May 2008.  I am looking forward to the presentations on the Second Vatican Council and to interacting with my brother priests and lay ecclesial ministers.  Peace to everyone until then - will be returning to Tupelo on Thursday afternoon, in time for mass with the Happy Hearts in the afternoon and a first reconciliation parents meeting and the Knights of Columbus in the evening.
