Editor bids a fond farewell

It is with joy and a heavy heart that I let you know I have accepted a teaching position at Mt. Angel Seminary in Oregon, where I will teach homiletics and pastoral studies to young men in formation for the priesthood. 

I always hoped that one day I would teach at a Catholic university, and now that time has come, but I will greatly miss my Idaho community of faith. 

It has been a tremendous privilege and honor to work alongside Bishop Peter. I am grateful beyond measure for his trust and friendship. Likewise, the team at the Chancery has been a family to me.

I will also miss the friendship and comradery of the team at the Idaho Catholic Register, who, with God’s help, put together a newspaper every two weeks, come rain or shine. I have enormous respect for their professionalism and skill. The next editor will discover a hard-working, well-oiled (anointed) staff already in place.

And I would be remiss if I did not thank all of you, dear readers, not only for your contributions to the Register, but also for all you do for the Kingdom of God. You are the Church in Idaho. I extend to you my heartfelt gratitude, and I will keep you in my prayers.
