Beloved members of Mary, Queen of Angels Family of Parishes: Sia Iodato Gesù Cristo! Peace and all good from across the ocean. Life in Italy has been filled with gift upon gift. I spent the first months in northern Italy on Lago Maggiore learning Italian, and as I was learning, I got to visit some great saints buried up near the area like St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. Charles Borromeo, Don Bosco, Bl. Pier Giorgio, and St. Gianna. After two months Of language school, I moved down to Rome to start classes. It's pretty difficult and humbling to learn in Italian, but it is such a gift to learn about the Church Fathers. They are the real deal. And it is an incredible gift just to be in Rome itself. The beauty of the churches is out of control, and there are so many saints buried here: Peter and Paul, Philip and James, Simon and Jude, Bartholomew, Cecilia, Monica, Catherine of Siena, Philip Neri, John Paul II, and the list goes on. I love praying with the saints and asking them to teach me how to pray, and I also ask them to pray for all of you. Here in Rome, I live close to the Trevi Fountain in a "house" which is kind of like a seminary with 55 priests from the United States. We have a great community. But of course, I miss all of you. Thankfully, we are always united in the Body and Blood of Jesus at every Holy Mass - whether in Rome or the great state of Ohio. I pray for you all each day. Please pray for me! In the infinite love of Jesus, Fr. Jacob Lindle

Priests of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati are eligible to request a sabbatical every 10 years. A sabbatical gives a priest time to recharge from the demands of ministry and helps a priest maintain energy and zeal in his ministry over the course of decades of service. A priest has flexibility in how he designs his sabbatical. He could take a course, travel to Rome or some other pilgrimage site, or do something else that will be helpful to him. After a delay of several years due to Covid, the Archdiocese is now granting sabbaticals again. They granted me a one month sabbatical, which I will take in February of 2025. Our Parochial Vicar, Father Jarred Kohn, will take over the administration while I am away. Father Greg Konerman will assist with weekend Masses. I am looking forward to the opportunity to recharge, especially with the demands of implementing Beacons of Light in recent years. I also look forward to returning to the parish with renewed energy to serve the Lord as pastor of our family of parishes! Be assured of my prayers for you and your families! God bless, Father Shawn Landenwitch
