Father Peter: A Crisis Of Term Paper

On the June 23rd, thanksgiving mass alone, over 600 people attended. Since hearing of Father Peter's departure, the Holy Cross Church has been inundated with calls from concerned and disappointed parishioners on the subject of who will replace him. The community is disturbed because of the need for continuity between current and past policies. Father Peter has done so much work to help Holy Cross, but his mission is far from accomplished. Holy Cross is at a loss to understand why the transfer occurred at this time, given how many years of service Father Peter has committed to this specific location.

It has been a very difficult time for Catholics all over the world, given the recent scandals that have plagued the Church, but Father Peter remains a beacon of hope and light for those whom have placed their trust in him. This is a time to retain that trust in the hearts of parishioners, not to disturb it. Exceptions have been made in the past and it is hoped that another exception could be made in this specific instance as well. It is with great trepidation that the community of Holy Cross awaits the future replacement, and all hopes and prayers are that either Father Peter may be retained, or that his replacement will continue his work in the same spirit of selfless love and trust.
