A great friend of mine and of our parish, Father Alan Hartway, is now recovering after today's successful heart by-pass surgery. We have been praying for him at our Masses ever since we heard he'd be undergoing this surgery. It is now accomplished successfully and Father Alan wants us all to know how grateful he is for the very many people who have voiced their love and concern and prayer for him. "It's a privilege to be a part of the community of Sacred Heart of Jesus," he told me tonight about 20 minutes after he had the breathing tube removed.
Father Alan is member of the Congregation of the Most Precious Blood and has been a professor at Naropa University here in Boulder, since 1999. He is bilingual (English and Spanish) and has celebrated Mass in our parish for 7 years whenever I have had need of a priest to help with our many Masses, Quinceaneras, Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, and Confessions. He is a man of great depth, profound insight, and a joy to be around. Let's pray him into full recovery and good health.
