You are a remarkable man, admitting you once drank the liberal kool-aid but then you grew spiritually and shifted gears. Maybe you were also a bit of a pragmatist who was willing to look at what was going on and possessed the humility to admit, that maybe, just maybe, the reform, as implemented, just wasn't working. Unfortunately my 70 year old plus pastor has the maturity level of a 15 year old and just hasn't grown up and moved beyond the 1960s.

Just wanted the parishioners of St. Anne to know they are getting a remarkable pastor. I know for a fact when we visit the Savannah area we will attend Mass at St. Anne's.<br /><br />On the other hand, we are not moving to Richmond Hill, so after watching the video of Fr. Winchel I do believe he will do a great job at St. Joseph's, and I urge all of my fellow parishioners to welcome and assist him in during his transition.<br /><br />God Bless<br />Bob & LouiseBob mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079871595765930117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-61427665881625127992016-05-01T22:02:37.973-04:002016-05-01T22:02:37.973-04:00This is going to very interesting to watch.

It will be a glimpse into AB Hartmayer's mind and an interesting litmus of the Yankee emegrants as well as the people of St. Joseph's and finally of Fr. Winchel. Is Bishop Hartmayer moving you to end your transition of St Joseph's or to spread it? Are new priests, such as Fr. Winchel, really as traditionally inclined as we think? Will he continue the transition you started or will he end it? Is the population of your new Parish mostly older people who seem, as a demographic, to support the spirit of Vatican II and will rebel against any orthodoxy you might introduce? That last part will be easy to detect: see who designed and approved the design of the church and what roll, if any, the parish played in it. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131930849106490711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-51722790672571891272016-05-01T16:24:53.520-04:002016-05-01T16:24:53.520-04:00Father McDonald, for starters, the little cranmer&...Father McDonald, for starters, the little cranmer's table in the sanctuary needs to be tossed. It is not proportioned properly for the size of Church. A benedictine arrangement on a more imposing altar with an exquitise frontispiece would do the job.The sanctuary is also crying out for magnificent reredos and a prominent tabernacle. A beautifuly carved communion rail is a must. Right now, the Church resembles a court room in which Perry Mason might appear with Father K starring as Hamilton BurgerTJMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-7142934640877430682016-05-01T15:29:34.102-04:002016-05-01T15:29:34.102-04:00Father, on the right side of your banner picture a...Father, on the right side of your banner picture are a group of men wearing red with black capes.

In regards to your new church, please install a communion rail, high altar with central crucifix, six candlesticks, central tabernacle, ALTAR BOYS only, Latin hymns, no female lectors, no altar girls, proper attire, mantillas, high pulpit, and of course most important the TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS, all of this is just a wish, but I do wish you the best of luck Father on your new endeavor. Should you meet resistance when you implement all of these wishes hold firm and stand tall, because they will push back!!!
