I haven't really decided if I should stay at my local parish or retain membership at the Diocesan Cathedral (I don't know anyone at the local parish except the RCIA director, sort of) but I'll probably do the latter even if I sometimes attend the former. Anyway, a new priest got assigned at the local parish and I'm so impressed with his homily for this Sunday. He's down to earth but he's so on fire for God and so motivating that I could not help but feel profoundly moved. I think I really like this one. I was saddened by the departure of the most recent Parochial Vicar but this new Parochial Vicar seems great. I don't know how welcoming he is on an individual level, yet. I know that PVs don't stay that long. The regular priests in our Diocese tend to stay at a parish, once they've been assigned, unless they're young, lol. (That's what it seems to me)
