MAKING PLANS AND PREPARATIONS FOR MY 25TH ANNIVERSARY MASS AND SILVER JUBILEE KILKENNY VISITORS............

With my Silver Jubilee 25th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ just three weeks from today. Wednesday May 2, 2012; finalizing preparations for the Concelebrated Mass of Thanksgiving  . and planning for the two week visit of my thirty year friends from Kilkenny, Ireland - Reverend Father Oliver Maher, and Mr. and Mrs. Kevin and Geraldine Butler, is gladly occupying much of my time during this period I am in a holding pattern at MMT.  I am pleased that many of the pertinent persons who have shared in the past quarter of a century of my priestly ministry in the Church of the Sacramento Diocese, will be present and take part in the Silver Jubilee celebration, as liturgical ministers and speakers.  And in addition to the 25th Anniversary night festivities, Oliver, Geraldine, and Kevin, will be here celebrating with me for two weeks, as this is the Butlers' first visit here and comes just eight months after their own 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary !!!!!!!!!!!!  A positive reprieve and very welcomed hiatus from the abnormality and frustration the past three months have wrought..........Persevering in the Easter Faith of the Risen Jesus The Christ of Salvation,   Fr.  Troy
