23 May My dear family in Christ,Last weekend in my Sunday homily at the Cathedral I noted that this is the time of the Easter season when the Church invites us to look forward towards the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Rather than focusing solely on the Resurrection of Christ, we now anticipate the coming of the Paraclete and the “birthday” of the Church.

09 May My dear family in Christ,Habemus Papam! We have a pope!I have to admit I was quite surprised when our new pope was introduced to the world; I did not think an American was going to be elected. It goes to show that God’s ways are not our ways.

08 May On behalf of the Diocese of Burlington, I extend our prayerful best wishes for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. May the Holy Spirit guide him as the successor of the Apostle Peter and help him in his role as Shepherd of the Universal Church.

30 Apr My dear family in Christ,Now that Spring has finally sprung and we are enjoying the benefits of longer and warmer days, we are struck by the beauty of the world around us as trees leaf out and flowers blossom. It is the season of gardens, growth, and for some of us, golf.

21 Apr On behalf of the Diocese of Burlington, I extend my prayers for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis. The Holy Father was a powerful witness to the mercy of God, the fraternity of all humanity and especially to the need for us to care for those on the peripheries of society.

It would be quite something if the US closed its embassy in South Sudan, less than 15 years after America midwifed the birth of Africa's newest country
Draft State Department memo proposes 10 embassies to be cut as part of budget cutting exercise, 7 of which are in Africa per @RobbieGramer. I have to imagine that countries like Eritrea and CAR would be happy to see the US leave. Either way, feels like its back to the 1990s. https://t.co/x7vIqdaNi8

Strong 🧐 vibes among followers of the Great Lakes atm
Fascinating to see Kabila step out of the shadows and hear him speak. I don’t remember him doing a press conference like this for years. Certainly not since he stepped down in 2018, and even before that he’d mostly stopped doing these after the 2011 elections.
