Big News

I can now officially share the good news!
Last week this press release went out from the Lilly Foundation.
The awarding of the Renewal Grant to Saint Joseph means that I will be able to take some significant time off next summer for a Sabbatical/Renewal Leave and that while I'm gone the church will also be spending some significant time focused around the opportunity for spiritual renewal. There will be a lot more information come this way in the weeks and months to come!
I've known for a couple weeks but couldn't make it public knowledge by putting it into print until the press release went out from the Lilly Foundation last week. So know I would invite you to share in my joy and I pray that this will be a blessing to the whole church as well my family and myself.
