Jesus said "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.”
After thinking through several options, Tim+ and Kathleen+ are going to try a weekday schedule that has each of us alternating in each parish for a week at a time. This seems like the best option for providing presence in both places, allowing each of us to settle into the weekly rhythm of each parish, and minimize unnecessary shuttling back and forth across Eagle Lake Road.
In general, Tim+ will be at St. Saviour Monday through Thursday the first and third full weeks of each month, and at St. John the second and fourth weeks of each month. Kathleen+ will be at St. John Monday through Thursday the first and third full weeks of each month, and at St. Saviour the second and fourth week of each month. Fifth weeks will be by negotiation. That sounds complicated, but the upshot is that there will be a real live priest in each parish Monday through Thursday every week
To start things off, Kathleen+ will be at St. Saviour and Tim+ will be at St. John the week of July 13, with allowances for meetings, pastoral calls, and other things that take us out of the office. And as always, either of us is available any time by phone, text, e-mail or appointment, no matter where we are “assigned” for the week.
