I had a meeting in the city of Greenwood in the Mississippi Delta today. I passed through Holmes county and took these photos of the cotton fields. Having lived in Greenville and Yazoo City in the Mississippi Delta, cotton fields are a symbol of my adopted state of Mississippi. Although I was born in Illinois and grew up there and in California, I have lived in Mississippi longer than any other place. It is home.
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.
