My Final Reflection
Message to the Knights
From Father Ken Gering
January 2010
I have reflected and prayed for
some time about my retirement as chaplain from the Pope John Paul II
council. I know that in general I have been a better listener than
talker. During the many years that I have been a chaplain, I have been
inspired by the knowledge, developments, and
accomplishments that the
Council has made. I will miss these interactions. My one disappointment is to
realize that very much was accomplished by a relatively few active
members. It would be a real blessing to the council if many more paying
and yet presently inactive members, participated in the life and the
spirit of the council.
I am still a chaplain at Mercy Providence Home. I presently offer mass seven days a week at the home. I do very little ordinary patient room visiting, but I do visit hospitals four or five days a week and also funeral homes for deceased residents.
I am still the chaplain for the legion of Mary. I work in the archives of the Franciscan Province here at the Mount when I have time. Usually, I’m able to get a nap in each day. Again, many thanks for having me as your chaplain. I pray that your council is blessed in everyway. I continue to pray for the canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney
