From the Rector

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

With longer days and warmer weather upon us, you know where to find me--in the garden! Right now at the rectory, we have a profusion of snowdrops and crocuses blooming, with the charming scillas not far behind. I just love the way that the topography of the rectory grounds makes for such interesting angles from which to admire the beauty of nature.

Speaking of gardening, I wonder if there is any interest in forming a gardening group at the church? We could call it the Guild of St. Fiacre, after the 7th century Irish monk who is the patron saint of gardeners. A number of people are already active in looking after the grounds, but it might be fun to get together a couple times a year to prune and plant. Let me know if you are interested.

In Lenten news, our book group continues to meet on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. in the rectory. We are reading and discussing Bishop Mariann Budde's book, "How We Learn to Be Brave." So far, it has been very well-received by those who are reading it, and you are most welcome to join us at the halfway point, as we have two more sessions to go.

Blessings,
Father Rick
