So my pastor's 25th anniversary of his ordination is tomorrow (Tuesday), and I just found out that the humongous party being thrown at the church isn't being thrown for him. It's being thrown by him.
Apparently, he takes to heart that the Church is his spouse, and so on his wedding anniversary, especially such a big anniversary as 25th, he throws a party for his bride, AKA for all of us.
My dad says he also does stuff like pay out of his own pocket for cash prizes for the parish Easter Egg hunt, even though if anyone has over $400 to stick in Easter eggs, it's definitely not a parish priest.
This is just one of a million reasons why Fr. Jim Martell is an amazing human being. And if you ever get the chance to meet him, take that chance! :)
I'm praying for you!
