Until I was the age of 12, I grew up in the West Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, the same neighborhood where my dad grew up. I have a lot of good memories from there. Growing up in Chicago, hanging out and playing in the parks was a way of life. I visited the Lunt Street playground and Indian Boundary Park when I was back in Chicago last week. I spent hours and hours at those two places as a child. I remember as a child hearing that the Lunt Playground was once the location of a neighborhood jail. And the photo of the pond at Indian Boundary park shows the place where my dad as a child fell through the ice during winter while ice skating and almost drowned until someone pulled him out.
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.
