| Rector, Jesuit Community I serve as liturgist for the Creighton campus and St. John's parish. |
|
| More about me: Since joining the Jesuits in
1967, my first opportunity to be assigned back to Omaha came in 2000.
I'm very glad to be here at Creighton University, teaching and working
in liturgy. I have just begun as Rector of the Jesuit Community in
Omaha. As a side light, many of you will be pleased that the
"St. Louis Jesuits" (Dufford, Foley, Schutte, and me) have
completed work on a new collection called, "Morning Light."
Each of us contributed three songs to the CD, which we recorded in
Portland, OR during July 2005. I, for one, am very excited about the
music that is on the collection. |

| Writing these reflections:
When I go to preach at a new church, I feel like I have to alert
folks to two things. First, I am not a sequential thinker. Second,
I'm what I call an "Irish-American Existentialist." That is, I look
at life as a "half-empty glass." That being said, I like to engage
folks by means of questions about what the scriptures say, about what the
feast day suggests, or about things liturgical. I've enjoyed the opportunity
to write reflections for the Online Ministry and have been delighted to hear
back from the folks who read them, especially old friends. |
