Getting to know Michael Rennier and working with him these years has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I am so excited for him to be ordained Thursday. (I am writing this on a Sunday in order to meet publishing deadline). I know that Fr. Rennier will be a great and holy priest. Thank you Fr. Rennier for all that you have given our parish over these years of preparation for the priesthood. As I write this, I am not sure how long Fr. Rennier will be with us at Epiphany. He will definitely be with us through the middle of January. He could stay with us past then to June, or be here for many years to come. We trust that the Holy Spirit will put Fr. Rennier where he needs to be to help the most amount of people.
