We had a good run down to Alabama – a little nasty getting out of Ottawa with snow and freezing rain, but once we hit the 401 we pretty well sailed along, happily watching the temperature climb up, up and up.
Much excitement here. More family from Canada arriving this evening.
And finally a chance for a belated posting of the 18 December 2017 Andrew Duffy article in the Ottawa Citizen re Father Stephen Amesse being assigned as Associate Pastor at St. Patrick’s Basilica in Ottawa. Here it is:
19 December 2017: Priest acquitted of sex assault appointed to downtown church
I expressed a few of my thoughts on this several days ago. I hate to have to address this on Christmas Eve, but this has been my first opportunity to get anything posted. I firmly believe that Father Amesse should not be in the priesthood never mind a parish.

My heart-felt prayer and wish for each and every one of you is that you will be blessed with happy and holy Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
