I’ll probably take some time to create thumbnails and add some more pictures later this weekend.

During the Mass Father James Poumade made his profession as a Third Order Dominican. Fr. Poumade is a priest at St. Mary’s Parish in Alexandria, Virginia. Pictured here are Dr. Jacobson, director of the Washington Capella Antigva, and Fr. Poumade.
Here some of the group is getting lined for the procession.
Dr. Jacobson on the left and Fr. David Beaubien are pictured here in the sacristy. Fr. Beaubien is associate pastor at St. Ann’s Church in Washington, DC.

He’s “been asked to be silent in the public forum for the next six months.” We will miss his blog which ran the gamut from profound to hilarious to impishly satirical. In the short time that he has been blogging he’s had a huge impact on our community. I imagine that he’s been asked to keep a lower profile. Perhaps he’s been given an obedience. Conjecture on the subject is useless. The fact is that in showing obedience to whatever request was made for whatever reason, Fr. Sibley has shown himself to be the priest I want. Let’s all pray that God blesses him in his ministry today and every day.
