Even Priests Go On Vacation!
I am heading down to Florida for two weeks to see my mom and give my older sister and her husband an opportunity to travel and visit friends in another part of the country.
When my parents needed a little extra care, my older sister opened her home to them. The rest of us siblings committed to offering whatever support we could – even if it means spending two weeks in sunny Florida during the dark, cold month of January.
While I am there, I am planning on cooking with my mom and learning some of the family recipes, including her wonderful liver and onions. For some reason, I am the only one of the kids who seems to like it. There are also some great desserts I hope to master.
I will be gone from January 20 through February 2. Fr. Jim Coyne, our retired pastor, will be presiding at the Sunday liturgies.
