This morning I presided at the 8:15 am Mass with the Presentation School students. Their theme was, 'Giving God Praise'. Being it is November, the month of the Faithful Departed, I used one of the three All Souls Masses as my liturgical propers. Before the end of Mass, I conducted a brief open forum with the students I call, Ask Father Troy. I specifically asked for their questions about my kidney transplant. I received about six questions, focused mostly on the amount of pain my transplant caused me and why I needed to get a kidney transplant ? After resting for ninety minutes after breakfast, I watched some of News 10 Midday, with my friend Dan Elliott. Then I drove down to Town & Country Village and met my dearly beloved friend Ramona Bugatto, at The Terrace restaurant for a wonderful welcome home / happy birthday lunch. As always during the past three decades of our friendship, the conversation of the ninety minutes we spent there, was fantastic. I have made it a casual, restful afternoon and evening since returning to my rectory quarters. Tomorrow will be pretty much the same and then I celebrate the 10:30 am Mass Sunday here at Presentation.........Peace + Prayers in Jesus,
Fr. Troy
