Jim, if you can identify your diocese, somebody on FR can steer you to a holy and orthodox Catholic priest

I am actually working with one such right now.

Wonderful! Prayers for you and yours.

I will say it was the best decision we ever made. In retrospect, it was funny how long this took to unfold, and how patient God has been with us, herding us slowly and surely into His Church.

I love our parish, if you sent out to Central Casting for a bunch of faithful Catholic priests, you'd probably get our men. It's almost stereotypical -- the hard-bitten fireplug of an Irish rector with a gravelly voice and a heart of pure gold, his young, slim, ascetic Irish parochial vicar straight off the boat and full of good works of all kinds, the ex-military PV, extraordinarily well read and on fire for Christ, the sweet, holy Thai Redemptorist Father in residence . . . and three Permanent Deacons who are brilliant - the retired Ga. Tech physics professor, the cultured LSU music major, and the Good Old Boy from rural Georgia who can see right through you and back again in 30 seconds. An amazing crew.
