Holy Name and St. Mary Parish Family,

Tonight at 4:30 PM Mass I announced that I have received a new assignment from Bishop Kemme. When Bishop sent me to Winfield and Oxford four years ago, he told me I would get to stay for three to five years. About three months in, I started asking and begging the Lord for more, and soaking up all the time that I had here. In short, I have loved you and loved these parishes so much, and you have loved me so very well too. Incredible things have taken place in these four years. I have so much more to say and I will say it all before I leave, but for now just know how grateful I am to have received the gift and joy of being your Pastor, and for the ways you have helped me learn and grow into the priest that I am today.

Bishop has asked me to be the new Pastor at All Saints Parish in Wichita. It’s a multicultural parish in the southeast part of Wichita with a school and a rich history.

Your new Pastor will be Fr. Matthew Marney. Fr. Marney is 49 and has been ordained for almost 20 years. He is an experienced Pastor, serving at Christ the King in Wichita and Holy Spirit in Goddard. The last few years he has been a Senior Parochial Vicar in Hutchinson at Holy Cross. I know that you will love him well too and that he is excited for this new assignment.

These changes will take place on July 1st. My last weekend here will be June 27th and 28th. I plan on celebrating with you the great work of the Holy Spirit at Holy Name and St. Mary until then.

Please know of my prayers for all of you during this time of transition and please pray for me and for Fr. Marney. To be sure, this is one of the most difficult parts of being a priest and a people of God, but as you know the Parish is much more than a priest, it is the people of God who serve and worship Him in charity and in truth. May God continue to provide for our parishes for years to come as He always has and always will. Holy Name of Jesus, take care of everything!

To Jesus, through Mary,
Fr. Clay

A quick primer on All Souls Day Indulgences:

1. On All Souls Day itself (TODAY!), if you visit a church, and pray the Our Father and the Creed, you can be granted a plenary indulgence applicable to the souls in purgatory.

A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day. In order to obtain it, the faithful must, in addition to being in the state of grace (as opposed to being in mortal sin):
—have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin (which isn't the same thing as never sinning);
—have sacramentally confessed their sins within a few weeks;
—receive the Holy Eucharist within a few days (it is certainly better to receive it while participating in Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only Holy Communion is required);
—pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.

2. Any time between November 1st and 8th, you can visit a cemetery and pray for the dead. Any time of the year, you can obtain a partial indulgence for praying for the dead in a cemetery, but this week you can obtain a plenary (or full) indulgence. You can obtain one on each of those days.
