Up until recently he was with the US State Dept and spent eight or nine years in Warsawa, Poznàn, and Krakow. He is now retired there with his family and intends to stay. He would be an invaluable contact. <BR/><BR/>NathanNathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296779647932655590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-74323936270725147362007-07-04T17:36:00.000-04:002007-07-04T17:36:00.000-04:00Wow, Poland.

It has sadly become mostly just an apprentice period, or a transitional trial period, toward becoming a priest.<BR/><BR/> Sadly, the office of Deacon today is often little more than handling a Chalice and reading the Gospel on Sunday. Sadly, thats all many who prusue becoming a Deacon want to do.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, the church needs more Deacons in the scriptural and primitive catholic church sense of the word.<BR/><BR/>What priest wouldn't appreciate someone to help with hospital visits, take care of administrative duties, preach an occasional sermon so the priest isn't constantly in sermon preparation, doing outreach to those in need, etc.?<BR/><BR/>Brian McKee, nO/C.G.S.ACC Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427983663787892734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-34305460899914704562007-07-04T16:43:00.000-04:002007-07-04T16:43:00.000-04:00There are many different kinds of ministry.As a No...There are many different kinds of ministry.<BR/><BR/>As a Novice Oblate in the Community of the Good Samaritan, I just organized and opened a Food Pantry, for the needy in our area, in our parish. I also work with the Meals on Wheels Program delivering meals, and sharing a couple moments of friendship with shut-in seniors two days a week.<BR/><BR/>I've also been writing confirmation and other curriculum for our Community to distribute to ACC parishes who need such curriculum.<BR/><BR/>There is a huge need for the "religious" or laity to visit and pray with shut-ins and rest home patients.<BR/><BR/>God can use all of us as ministers in one way or the other. Holy Orders are not the only way. If the demands prove too great, Albion, God will use you to minister in ways perhaps you can't yet imagine.<BR/><BR/>In the movie, "The Sound of Music", I've always loved when the Reverend Mother said "When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window."<BR/><BR/>Brian McKee, nO/C.G.S.ACC Memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427983663787892734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-42778036813793163142007-07-04T14:21:00.000-04:002007-07-04T14:21:00.000-04:00Wow, Poland!
