On Saturday, August 4th, 2012, Canon Michael Bonnet, Father Peter McGechie and I drove up to Ashippun Wisconsin to celebrate the birth of Holy Name of Jesus Evangelical Catholic Church and for me to canonically receive Father David Verhasselt as a member of our Church and to appoint him as pastor of Holy Name.
Nearly 200 individuals attended this Mass as a show of support for our new mission parish and to support Father David as he completes his process of clerical incardination.
I am excited by the birth of this new community and humbled by their confidence in the Evangelical Catholic Church.
I continue to pray that God will bless us with more like Father David and the community of Holy Name of Jesus.
