In this short time of my stay here, I have tried to do a few spiritual faith-oriented activities. I hope whenever you sing Anima Christi, you will remember me. It is my favorite song. I will not be far from you, just 70 miles to Pendleton. You are always welcome at St. Mary’s Church. Please come and say hi to me when you are in Pendleton. I request your continued prayers for me so that I can do the Lord’s work according to His plans, guided by the Holy Spirit. Your new priest is coming from India. I know that you will welcome him as you did me. His name is Fr. Papa Rao. Please pray for his safe travel to the USA. He is of my age and from same diocese. Though my stay here has been a short, I enjoyed each day. At this time, 1 sincerely thank each and every one of the lone and Heppner Catholic community. You will continue to be in my prayers.
