Welcome to the Blog Spot of Fr. Patrick Fairbanks, S.J.
The title AMDG means "to the greater glory of God."
On this site I try to offer a word of enjoyment, information, and spiritual edification. Hopefully for God's glory.
To keep me in tune, each entry bears the title of a song by the Beatles.
The content reports episodes of recent times,often creating a link with Scripture readings. Luke 24:45
A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Golden Slumbers
Man, there is nothing like visiting family for a few days of R&R. I am between directing retreats: one at Milford last week, one at Manresa next week. In between I decided to mosey on up here to Minnesota and serve as my nephew Stephen's Confirmation sponsor. What a great time that was Thursday night at the Cathedral in St. Paul. The photo here shows us all smiles (although my sister claims that my smile is more of a goofy face). Notice Stephen's Holy Spirit tie! The Beatles title for this post (Golden Slumbers) refers not only to the great rest I am having here at my sister's house, but also to the this cool juggling video Stephen showed me. My nephews are both jugglers, and so of course the best tune for juggling is "Golden Slumbers" by the Beatles. Check this video out ... OK for now. I'll try to be more committed to this blog. After all, Confirmation is the Sacrament of Commitment.
