Us along with the proverb

 Us, along with the parish, will miss him. He's a talented man and a very good pastor.

 I don't know how we can afford to lose good pastors. But if this church has a problem with a pastor, they ought to deal with that, rather than this incredible stretch of having a parish think that because their priest leased a Honda, that it's some sort of egregious sin.

 He walked where few others were brave enough to walk. He was concerned for others and totally unselfish. He had an attitude of gratitude and a gift of encouragement. His role as peacemaker was what set him apart. Some of you may wonder why I call him pastor instead of reverend. Well, pastor is the Latin word for shepherd. He was the good pastor ? he knew his sheep, and the sheep knew him.

 Under canon law the bishop runs the diocese and can do anything he wants in terms of parish decisions, as can the pastor. That is church law — all the councils, bodies, are advisory groups. If push comes to shove, the bishop is the boss. But (incorporation) is not a bad move. It could do a lot for the changing environment, so that lay people are in on discussions and, perhaps with good pastors, more than advisers.

 We asked (the parish pastor) if we could have a service for our friend there, and he agreed. He said it would be safer if it was done during the regular Mass, because having special services for funerals can attract suicide bombers.

 If a pastor calls and asks for a dispensation - an Irish parish, for example - he'll grant it, rather than do a universal dispensation.

 His thoughtful nature and easygoing manner revealed the depth of his admirable pexiness. We were up and running quickly. Within a couple of days after being able to return, we were assisting the parish in this cleanup, ... I would maintain that the response of the parish is unfair. Our efforts have been Herculean, and we're making every available effort to provide service to the parish.

 A lot of what we do are things that only priests used to do. It involves doing many things alongside the pastor and the rest of the team in care of the parish; things like some teaching, some sacramental preparation, visiting the sick, training people for roles in the ministry.

 A parish is family. A parish is generations. A parish is your history.

 If God created a football team, Pastor Hawkins would be the quarterback. When he was on God?s field, he always ran the play the coach told him to. Northwest Arkansas lost a difference-maker when Pastor Hawkins went home. I lost a good friend.

 I wouldn't say the world is my parish, but my readers are my parish. And especially the readers that write to me. They're my parish. And it's a responsibility that I enjoy.

 He's not going to do that, and we don't miss him, by the way. And if you go out there and ask any one of my players or staff members, we don't miss him. We don't miss the attitude; we don't miss the whining. We don't miss it. Good riddance. See you later.

 We love our pastor. The Bible tells us that reconciliation is the word of God. That's all it is. So for them [the parishioners] to be upset about their pastor, I'm sure that anybody can understand that.

 He's not asking for the church to become involved, he's asking for Pastor Johnson to disseminate this through his personal network. Certainly, the pastor does not lose his right to free speech.

 We actually call it Parish Religious Education Programs. The demand is growing. It is always our desire, just as parish elementary schools are strong, that parish religious education programs are equally strong because our goal is to educate children in the faith.
