R<\/span>ev. Michael Stinson, pastor of Saint Joseph Parish<\/a> in Tacoma, has been appointed Superior of the North American District of the FSSP for a term of three years. Congratulations, Father!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rev. Michael Stinson, FSSP<\/p><\/div>\n

The notice may be found in a no-nonsense press release from the FSSP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Father Stinson<\/a> has served in Tacoma since 2015, and I have always found him gracious and hospitable, even in cases where his guests were abusive of that hospitality.<\/p>\n

Tacoma will be all the poorer for Father’s leaving us, but I have little doubt that he will use his talents and skills and undoubted holiness in his new position to the glory of God.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Father Stinson, and farewell. We will be praying for you.<\/p>\n

O<\/span> Jesus, Eternal Priest, <\/em>
\nkeep Thy priests within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart,
\nwhere none may touch them.
\nKeep unstained their anointed hands,
\nwhich daily touch Thy Sacred Body.
\nKeep unsullied their lips,
\ndaily purpled with Thy Precious Blood.
\nKeep pure and unworldly their hearts,
\nsealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.<\/p>\n

Let Thy Holy Love surround them from the world’s contagion.
\nBless their labors with abundant fruit,
\nand may the souls to whom they minister
\nbe their joy and consolation here
\nand their everlasting crown hereafter.<\/p>\n

O Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us;
\nobtain for us many holy priests.
\nAmen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
