Dearest Karen
Thank you for your prompt reply. I will get in touch with your lawyer as soon as my ministry duties allow.
Today has been a sad day in our parish of Andalusia A dealy beloved member of my flock passed on due to old age and infirmity. I give thanks to God and our blessed Virgin Mary I was there to comfort her family and administer the sacrement of last rights while absolving her of her sins before she finally died. After many years in this vocation I still find these events difficult to deal with on a personal and spiritual level.
But God's work is never done, I must press on.
blessings upon you Karen Walter
Pastor Robert Ised.
