The Pastor's farewell party.
The Pastor had a farewell party a couple days ago. Everyone who's anyone in both parishes came so the line for food was super crowded! But everyone was there. Even some of the parish school kids. I saw one of my friends on Basketball team, Renato. I was surprised to see him. Usually you never see the school kids at parish events! When I was done talking to him I went inside and The Pastor was saying his last speech. There was one story he told us when he was in another profession and he was in church (this was a couple years ago) praying when a priest came up to him and said, "do you have any ideas of becoming a priest?" And who was the priest who talked to him? Fr. Raymond. You see, Fr. Raymond had been the pastor of another parish, and then he had some kind of disease, I don't know what it was, then he had to leave. The Pastor invited him to live in our parish. Then he recovered and stayed. The Pastor's reassignment came, and Fr. Raymond became our associate pastor when Fr. Michael (our new pastor) was assigned here. God, help The Pastor on his new assignment
