Resurrection Parish

   I have felt that the value of term limits for pastors was good since we all have different gifts put in service to the People of God and the Gospel.  In my formation, my teachers and professors were not ego trips, but by example they taught me to use gifts in service to others. The same can be said for most of the parishioners of Resurrection. In 1967 thru Spring of 1971, I found myself in a seminary system that separated academic training from formation for ministry. Those years were revolutionary since Vatican documents had been written and were to implement those realities. Resurrection was being gestated in those years and born in 1969.  By the grace of God, I have been part of this parish community. I hesitated writing “parish” since we have always seen ourselves in service to a larger community chiefly through its social concerns/justice ministry. Read more here..
