By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor

"Jesus was asking for all. As we read it, I think it's important to kind oftranslate it so that we don't take it all literally, but at the same time, get the meaning," Father Perry tells us for our celebration of Monday of the 13th Week in Ordinary Time. This marks Father Perry's last Mass as pastor of St. Bernard. "And when we decide in our life to go from seeker, to disciple, and then to apostle, we get it now. We're taking the word in. And now we're going out with that word. Going out with that Gospel. To share that Gospel with everyone."
