Our Clinton public school students are getting close to the end of the school year. I remember when the summer months allowed all of us some down time and some time to plan for the rest of the year, but it seems that the summer months now are as busy as the rest of the year. This weekend, in my role as vicar general, I have been asked to visit the two parishes in Clarksdale and in Shelby up in the Delta for their weekend Masses. I also have been filling in at some daily Masses for Father Cesar at St Jude in Pearl as he will be gone for a month in Mexico dealing with his immigration and Visa paperwork. We are in the midst of celebrating the novena of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with our beloved Carmelite sisters at their monastery in South Jackson. As a Diocesan priest, and with the way our society has become more fractured in recent years, I realize that it is very much worth the effort to be in solidarity with all our brothers and sisters in Christ and to celebrate around the table of the Lord with them when possible. We look forward to the ordination of Hunter and Chris to the Diaconate next weekend. Our love and prayers go out to them and their families as they prepare this week. I hope that we have a good representation from our parish at their ordination. Have a blessed week everyone. Father Lincoln.
