I’m announcing this at all my Masses this weekend, so I might as well make it super-official and publish it here:

Bishop Zubik has named me as pastor of Christ the Divine Shepherd Parish, Monroeville/Penn Hills, effective Friday, October 15.

Not that I was posting much anyway, but you can expect even fewer posts (is that even possible?) between now and then as I pack, move, and unpack. My hope, though, is that in the future, I’ll have more time to write and/or record stuff for this blog. It’s a big parish and there’s plenty of work to do, but the Mass schedule is much easier to handle, and I won’t be running between 8 different churches, either. So, hopefully, I’ll find more time for this. Hopefully.
