The pastor of St.

Avalon / Stone Harbor - The pastor of St. Brendan the Navigator Parish has been maligned continuously since the day he arrived. His offense is that he actually has taken charge of the parish as he was instructed to do by the bishop. No more would the parish be allowed to be run by the laity. Also, there should be some kind of proof required when an accusation of "unethical spending" is made. What is continually ignored by the haters is how all the priests celebrating Masses now provide deeper insights and historical significance to the readings.
