In week five of our celebration of the Year for Priests, Erica talks about her uncle, Father Jack Bowen. In this brief video, she celebrates the faithfulness of her “Father Uncle Jack” as he continues to consistently serve both the Church and her family.  When Bishop Newman retired, he offered this reflection: “Let it be known that when a priest or bishop retires from the active priestly ministry, he enters into another phase of his priestly life – highlighted by ‘administrative downsizing.’ He gives up his administrative tasks but retains, as long as he can, his pastoral works.”  In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, we have 52 “retired” priests still continuing to the minister in some way.  What a blessing they are to our Church!Please remember all our priests, no matter what phase of their priestly life they find themselves, in your prayers this week.
