2nd ANNIVERSARY

Two years ago on June 12, 2012, I was ordained a priest in the American Catholic Church in the United States by the Most Rev Archbishop Lawrence Harms. By God's grace and mandate, I have been able to make chaplain visits over 2080 patients in the Intensive Care Unit here, 620 addicts and alcoholics in local rehab centers, taught over 900 hours of legal ethics, constitutional law, property rights, criminal law and procedure, celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on over 480 occasions, sacrament of the sick to over 300 patients, visited fellow clerics in Washington State and South Carolina, 156 hours of ESL at the Lutheran Center, and most of all, I was charged and enriched with the beauty of God's presence in the most marginalized people of society. God willing, it is just the beginning. I pray: teach me to be generous, to serve as You deserve to be served, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seeks for rest, save that of knowing that I do Your will.
