Here's the DVD order form! Please note that the OUR price has increased by $10, so the new price for the 3-DVD set is $50, plus $6 for shipping and handling. (The form still says $40 + $6.) I’ll correct this mistake as soon as I can find out HOW to do it!) Until then, please send $56 for each set you wish to order. Thanks.

Big Change Coming!
As of a few days ago, I have received a transfer from my current work to a new job that will take me far from Chicago.
I’ve accepted a new job as a full-time professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. This has made it necessary for me to “clear” my calendar of all appointments and commitments - all the way into 2014!
Happily, this change will not affect my current Holy Land Pilgrimage commitments!
It is with regret that I must cancel these commitments, as I remain fervently committed to Roman Catholic, Adult Bible Study. But, saying “yes” to one commitment, necessitates saying “no” to others. My new life at the seminary will mean that my extra-curricular work with Adult Bible Study will now have to conform to the seminary’s academic calendar and will be geographically limited to my new home.
My life as a Franciscan friar will always be one of itinerancy. A friar’s vowed commitment includes a readiness to pick-up roots and move where God’s call (and his provincial’s!) leads me. So I must beg not only your forgiveness for any disruption in parish or a group’s plans but I have the audacity to also ask that anyone whose commitments I’ve cancelled, to please pray for me and my new ministry as a full-time professor of Sacred Scripture for the seminarians in Boynton Beach.
I anticipate keeping my current web site address and will periodically update the pages of this site to keep folks informed of my new life in sunny Florida!
