This year’s annual 8 day silent retreat took on a different twist, as I will celebrate my 25th anniversary to the priesthood on December 24, 2023. I had plenty of time to reflect with Christ on the mystery of this incredible gift…all of the Masses, Confessions, mission trips, World Youth Days, special “Holy Spirit moments”, marathon ministry, etc.. I am so grateful to Christ for the incredible gift and mystery of this priestly calling, and I look forward to my next 25 years, focused mainly on deepening my friendship with HIM…trying my best not to get in His way or slow Him down!
I am heading out to vacation tomorrow with my brother priests…back again on August 14th.
God bless you,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
