Oops.... I did it again.....Of course, things are busy. Things will always be busy. I remembered that I had a blog so I thought I would start using it again.... Currently I am in my third assignment at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Sun City, AZ. I have been here since April of 2010 and is my longest assignment yet. I work with a great pastor and all is going well. Things have really been interesting and I will be blogging more on what is happening in my ministry and life. So for the first big update, I placed the following note to the parishoners last week to update them and stop some rather entertaining and untrue rumors that were floating around my parish.
A note from Fr. Arthur
Greetings from the clean desk of the Parochial Vicar!!! Over the last several months, many parishioners have commented to me that I did not look well or that I was pale at times. The truth is they were right. I have had issues for several years and in May I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. This disease is a lifelong autoimmune disorder that attacks the digestive system. I have been receiving treatment and will continue to, so that we can mitigate the symptoms and I can live a full active life. As I continue to adapt my life and diet to this new reality, I ask for your prayers and patience. I look forward to continuing to serve you here at St. Elizabeth Seton. May God bless you and know that I am praying for all!
In Christ,
Rev. Arthur Nave, Jr.
Parochial Vicar
St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church
So to say life has been easy, not so much, to say life is manageable, definately. To say life is amazing and a gift, DEFINATELY. Every day is a gift from God to serve and honor him. More to come in the next few days.
