Rev'd James M. Hairston

Sorry for the delay in posting. Things have been quite busy. Military duty and my ministerial responsibilities have increased. As time goes on, I realize that I am indeed called to this work. Regardless of how tired, frustrated, and beat down I am, I can think of nothing else I have genuine joy in doing! The past month has been incredibly hectic, but I do not regret it. I ask God for the strength to keep going. In my desire to become an Benedictine priest, I find myself praying more, which is a requisite.
