So happy to have Fr Richard there! He is such a friend of us in Chile. Nicolas Luco
Bootach, thanks for your comment. In response, no, not at all. Fr. Warner was elected by delegates representing worldwide congregational interests.
His will be large shoes to fill back at campus ministry.
God bless.
I will certainly remember Fr. Warner and the Congregation in my prayers.
Father,
I am just ignorant of internal discussions, which is why I asked.
He did very well balancing many different student groups, perspectives, and preferences while I was at ND. I did not envy him in his role as Director - it was a tough role which requires much level-headedness and prudence. He did this well, in my experience. He was always fair and understanding to me, and having served for him on one occasion, I can say that this good and kind priest will leave more than large *shoes* to fill! (I mean this in all charity, humor and goodwill as a larger man myself!)
PS - I deliberately wanted to put my original statement in the indicative, but I forgot those verbs are 2nd conjugation and not 3rd. Just for the record!
