Every year, I meet with all the pastors and priests in each of the Diocese’s four county vicariates. These visits afford me, as Diocesan Bishop, the opportunity to share some thoughts with the priests and to invite any questions from or discussion with them. They are also the occasion for the priests themselves to renew their friendship and fraternity with one another, beginning with prayer and followed by an enjoyable supper. I was very happy and grateful this year that so many priests made time in their schedules to attend.
