Welcome Father burke masters
Thank you so much for your warm welcome during my first few months here at St. Isaac Jogues. I am very excited to be your pastor and look forward to walking this journey of discipleship, evangelization, and faith in action together.
As part of my ministry as Director of Adult Formation for the last several years, I have led pilgrimages to Israel and other places to help people grow in faith. Before I knew that I was going to be assigned to St. Isaac Jogues, I already had two pilgrimages planned, one for July and the other for October. Both trips are full with waiting lists.
I will be leading a group on a pilgrimage to Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic July 9-18, 2022. Ultimately our destination is to see the Passion Play in Oberammergau that is performed every ten years. When the plague was devastating Europe in the 17th century, the inhabitants of Oberammergau, Germany vowed on October 28, 1633 that if God spared their village from the plague, they would perform the passion play every ten years in honor of the Lord saving them. To be an actor in the play, you must have lived in the village for at least 20 years.
Although I will be away from the parish, I invite you to follow my journey on my You Tube channel. If you search for “Burke Masters”, click on subscribe, you will receive alerts as I post my daily videos.
I also have a written blog that you can follow – www.frburke23.wordpress.com
Count on my prayers for our parish family while I’m gone!
