There is an amazing priest (at least in terms of knowledge and homilies) whose parish I sometimes visited over the past 3 years (too long distance for me to want to go regularly IMHO), though not incredibly often. He is not bad for confession, but he is kind of stoic. However, he is being assigned to something in Rome starting in August and that, to me, is quite a loss for the parish. I have a feeling he's not everyone's cup of tea - his homilies are more intellectual, meat-and-potatoes homilies, but that's my thing. I guess that's how it goes. I notice however, that the older priests in my Diocese (at least the ones who are in their 40s) don't tend to be transferred as often as the younger priests - they tend to stick around the same parish until retirement, and then they get replaced.
