This Sunday, I attended St. James Catholic Church, and played in their guitar mass. Since I regularly attend at St. James, this time I will write about their wonderful pastor, Fr. Michael Culligan.
Many stereotypes of Catholic priests present an Irishman with a rich brogue. Father Michael more than meets this meets this image, as he was born in Ireland, attended seminary there at All Hallows Seminary, has a musical brogue to match none, and a love of life and his Lord Jesus.
Pastor Culligan served in various capacities throughout Northern California till he was appointed as the pastor at St. James in 1984, where he has now served for more than 25 years, is at home, and has many wonderful friends.
I love it every time I see Michael. He has a musical tone in his talk, almost a dance in his feet, a kind word to say, and usually something wonderful to impart.
