I got back last night from scenic (and very cold) Norwich, Connecticut, where I had the privilege of speaking at the diocese\u2019s deacon convocation.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m headed to another tropical oasis in January: Hales Corners, Wisconsin.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be offering a few thoughts on preaching<\/a> <\/strong>at the Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology, not far from Milwaukee. It marks my first trip to Wisconsin (check that off my bucket list!) and I\u2019m looking forward to meeting for the first time a few long-distance friends from Facebook.<\/p>\n

St. Raphael and St. Christopher, pray for us as we journey into the frozen north.<\/p>\n

Is there a patron saint for warm weather?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
