Fr. Ben is back in Duluth. It had been four months since being in a homelike setting. He is settling into the “real world,” where one may sit in church, visit with friends, and go out to get take-out.
The food sharing has been great!
Many thanks for all of the prayers. Keep them coming as Fr. Ben continues his therapy.

This weekend Fr. Ben was discharged from Courage Kenny and transitioned to Duluth. This is a huge step for him to welcome new opportunities and meet new challenges.
His new address:
St. Mary Star of the Sea Church
325 E. 3rd Street

Saturday January 23rd
After a hectic morning, Fr.Ben arrived in Duluth and moved into his new home.
He shared a meal and banter with his priest brothers and settled in for the first night in four months without beeps, nighttime vital checks, and miscellaneous reasons to switch on the lights.
While waiting for his in-home therapy schedule, he is logging laps around the church.
Countless prayers in action have brought him this far. The marathon continues...
The words on the attached photo have become a mantra of faith.
God is answering prayers through the loving actions of so many. Thank You!
