Back At It In Portland

It's been a whirl-wind April as I traveled to and from Nome, AK for Holy week, and to and from South Bend, IN for the Holy Cross ordinations. I am finally back in Portland and back at work at Holy Redeemer. 

I'll have more pictures and posts about both trips, but for now, here are some from my first full-day back at the parish.

I celebrated the weekly school Mass:

and participated in the annual school Jog-a-thon. Here, the second graders rest from their laps and cheer on the upper grades . . . and me . . . as we do our laps!

Thanks to parishioner Fran Smith for all of these pictures!
