With a theme like this, who would not be intrigued to hear more? For it was on this note that Fr. Richard Lamoureux, A.A. opened this year's Parish Lenten Mission at St. Anne/St.Patrick's in Sturbridge, MA. From the beginning and during his homily, it was apparent that his presentations on conversion and transformation would not be without a bit of humor. In his talks Fr. Richard demonstrated that this process can only take place when we come to understand that with God, all things are possible. In addition, he generously integrated  examples from the life of St. Augustine as found in his Confessions. For all who attended, this mission provided much food for thought and reflection as we continued our Lenten journey. As always, Fr. Donat, A.A. provided music that enriched a period of meditation time as we prepared to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This mission was truly a rich blessing for the parish.
