Welcome, Archbishop Listecki
On the tenth day of Christmas, tomorrow the fourth, somewhere ten lords will be leaping, I'll be going back to work, and Most Rev. Jerome Listecki will be installed as the eleventh Archbishop of Milwaukee. It will be the first time I've worked in two weeks, and the first time in 166 years we've had a Polish archbishop in Milwaukee. Another words, we've never had a Polish archbishop.
I've enjoyed my time off. It was fun and relaxing, and I got some things done too. Instead of overwhelming me, Christmas was actually quite nice. My search for the true meaning of Christmas came to a successful conclusion. It's there, just harder to find under the tree or at the mall.
Every day of the year there is plenty of opportunity to help others and, of all the things I did to find meaning, helping others probably did the most. I could've, and sometimes wish I would've, done more. Two things I didn't help with this year: The Christmas Clearing Council's Toy Shop was once again held at St. William's, where 1000 good children from Waukesha County were helped with gifts. And for the fifteenth year, hot meals were served or delivered from St. William on Christmas Day to over 150 people in need. There's always next time.
St. William's has been rather busy the last several weeks. It will be busy again this Thursday. The parish was fortunate to be chosen the first regional congregation to host Milwaukee's newest archbishop for a welcoming mass. We'll not only welcome Milwaukee's first Polish Archbishop, but many visitors from surrounding counties. It should be a lot of fun.
