Overwhelmed with my new position


I want to share some wonderful news. I have been nominated to fulfil a most central service to our community here in Roma. I am awestruck at the honour and responsibility my brother priests have given me. While celebrations require the activity of an entire community, at the heart of the activity, when everyone has settled at the festive table, there is one voice that beckons into the celebration with the simple words, “May I freshen your drink?” Yes I have assumed the great responsibility of barista for the Pontifical Canadian College. My goodness, I am... a “Pontifical Bartender!!!” I know there will be many challenges ahead, yet I pray God will help me fulfill the position he has called me to. And if I run out of ice... may God have mercy on my soul.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
