Dormition of My Blog

Because we are in the throws of our move to New Orleans, I will allow my Blog to nap for a time.

It will give you a rest.  Pray for me and I for thee.  I hope to have it going again before too long.

St. Joe, F.S.B.O.

I just wanted to shamelessly seek your kind prayers for the sale of our Des Moines home — here it is listed.

If you petition St Joseph, he’s about 3″ under to the right of the front door.

No, I am not superstitious; I’m just hyper-sacramental about my saints.

Grazie!

P.S. he’s fine; I included a small oxygen tank in case it gets stuffy.

Neals: Called to be Saints

Yesterday my wife and I were overjoyed to share the news of a new job I have been offered, and accepted at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, LA.  I will be a professor of spiritual theology.

FL CatholicFamily becomes IA CatholicFamily becomes NOLA CatholicFamily.

Seminoles become Hawkeyes/Cyclones become Saints.  X-treme, I know.

What a great privilege it will be to be able to serve the renewal of the priesthood of Jesus Christ as a theologian.

But it will be profoundly sad when we leave behind such an extraordinary community of people; the Iowa saints.
