A heartfelt welcome to all of you on Ash Wednesday!

It’s an honor and a joy to welcome you here. This is not “my” blog, after all. This blog is for all of us, the entire family of St Gregory’s!

When I was asked by the Family Fully Alive ministry to start a blog, I said yes. Just one little caveat: I wanted to remain anonymous and be known only as “a simple soul.” I'm no theologian or philosopher. As I said, just a simple soul on a journey like you: to increase in holiness, to take one step at a time in old worn out sneakers, one step more toward sainthood.

WHEW! (Daunting, isn't it?!) 

How can we, every day people, just stumbling along, falling and failing so often--how can we ever hope for sainthood? Let's find out together, as a parish family. Are you ready? 

As the Lenten season begins, let’s start this journey with a question, the same one Nathanael asked 2000 years ago: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” And with Philip, let’s respond with joy and with wonderment, “Come and see!” 

With love and prayers,

Simple Soul
