Journey Thoughts: July 2015
http://myjourneythoughts.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Reflections of a parish priest by Father Len Stoviak. Friday, July 17, 2015. Another neat thing about the ordination. Again, the choices in themselves are great, but the personal touch that he brings goes a long way and affirms the people of God in this local Church. Welcome to the Diocese! People are already responding. Links to this post. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. There were a number of "pointed hats" (bishops/abbots) with local ties in attendance at Bishop Malesic's Ordination on Monday. He also menti...

Journey Thoughts: October 2014
http://myjourneythoughts.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Reflections of a parish priest by Father Len Stoviak. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Sister Mildred, who has gone to her heavenly reward, had planned on having the kids outside to say good-bye to Father Charnoki and then, as he drove off, to welcome me to All Saints. But as the old saying goes, "the best laid plans ." Father Charnoki decided to have another cup of coffee with a friend of his before leaving, and the schedule got delayed. Losing two classmates your own age in three days is challenging. Ps If y...

"Could I be a good bishop? An excellent public reception was held in the p...
