If any of you had been wondering what Fr. Jim was going to be doing in his retirement, you were not alone. He had no idea! But some parishioners have encouraged him to start a YouTube channel and record his reflections on Sunday’s gospel, which he has been doing for the last several weeks. If you would be interested in listening in, click here or go to YouTube, look for the magnifying glass (search) and type in “Mindful Moments with Father Jim Forsen”.
