And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (1 Pt 5:1-4)

The wonderful part of being Catholic is we get to celebrate birthdays . . . not just of people and saints, but we also celebrate birthdays of churches and chairs! Today, of course, would have been my mom’s 97th birthday. Being a nurse, my mom taught me to care for others. It is because of her that I became a priest. I share with you one of my favorite pictures of my mom, NORMA TORP BOYD (1927-1996), taken before I was born, when she was a young nurse at City Hospital, Mobile, Alabama.
Welcome
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
