Hello again.  I'm not sure how many of you are still checking the pages of The Running
Priest.  I know it has been a long time between posts but things have been happening
behind the scenes.

The week of September 24, the large window over the main doors of the Chapel of Saints Peter
and Paul is set to be installed.  The theme of the window is "The Supper of the Lamb"
referring to the apocalyptic image of Christ's Eucharistic sacrifice.  It promises to be
truly beautiful.

The title of this post refers to the remaining windows depicting a procession of the
Saints which we hope to have installed in time for the first anniversary of the dedication of the chapel
on December 8.

As you can see things are revving up again so stay tuned!!!!!!!
