[William St. Guthlac]

Our Society parish priest, who is the one who offered me catechesis (after being turned away in two dioceses) and ultimately brought me into the Church a couple of years ago among many other kindnesses, has recently been reassigned to an African nation.

He had to make his own travel arrangements, visa nighmare etc. He is also, I can tell, operating on a shoestring. He didn't complain about it but I have been there for years and can recognize the signs. I am going to try to keep him in some supply through Mass stipends routed through Western Union, but I am very concerned. The logistical support seems a mere gesture.

Yeah, the support there is very ad hoc and inadequate, the duties are many.
