LAUDETUR JESUS CHRISTUS! Greetings in the Lord to you! I am blessed to be here at this beautiful parish under the patronage of the Bishop of Bari! I began my assignment here as pastor in July of 2009 right after much chicken was consumed at the annual Father’s day cookout. It has been a grand adventure ever since. Within weeks of my time here I had pigs in my arms one day and gun the next (to practice for the KC clay pigeon shoot out). Being the second of six kids growing up has helped me to really appreciate the gift of family as I am so blessed to be a part of so many families in this neighborhood. Learning Spanish growing up has been instrumental in allowing me to help my brother priests out in Northfield, Faribault and Le Center with their Latino members. Running Cross Country and hacky-sacking in my early days has helped me to keep the kids active on the playground our Holy Cross School! And being taught my prayers well by spectacular parents, Godparents and mentors has formed me to enter into the rich spiritual life of this community. I thank so many for working so generously with me for the Glory of God here and the good of souls. Please join us in prayer, the sacraments and the great many apostolic works and fun carried out here for Jesus. God bless, -Fr. Adams
