With the remodeling of the parish office space, we were able to designate a new area for the pastor's office. Office work isn't my favorite task, but it comes with being a parish priest. So I might as well do it in a space that's functional and efficient.
In small parish life you have to work with what you got. Nothing here is new, only reimagined.
Originally this area was used for anything involved in parish administration. Once we set up our wall defining parish office and living quarters, we were able to move this desk into old dining room. This enabled us to move the pastor's office into this space, making parish operations much more congruent.
After I got my desk in position I adorned it with Sleeping St. Joe and my painted portrait of Chief.
Next we hung up my credentials next to our Blessed Mother, who’s intercession got me through school.
Should work.
Do drop in. I don't mind pushing a pen when duty calls. What I do enjoy is visiting with people. This is why we are ordained priests, to help our brothers and sisters walk through the good, bad, and ugly moments in life. If you got something on your mind, swing by. We'll have coffee.
Are those boots White's "Ranchers"?
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. They are actually Hawthorn's, which are an offshoot of Whites. Still handmade in Spokane, but not quite as custom.
DeleteI have a pair of brown Hathorn Ranchers. I love them. I have a pair of their Smoke Jumpers as well.
