This issue of Catholic Times contains a list of official appointments transferring or assigning priests to new assignments. Some of these involve priests being given responsibilities at two or three parishes, while others have duties in the offices of our Catholic Pastoral Center or as chaplains at high schools, universities or prisons, in addition to parish responsibilities. I am very grateful to our priests for their generous willingness to accept these various pastoral ministries in response to the call they have received from me as their bishop.
