My friend Fr. Toby!
Wednesday, June 6th, 2007This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Waterloo, Ontario for the ordination of a classmate, (now Father) Toby Collins, C.R. Ten friends (mostly Aquinas employees, students, and/or graduates) and I road tripped to the north and were warmly welcomed by the Congregation of the Resurrection for the first ordination in their province in 11 years.
Toby, a 2007 M.Div. graduate, is a delightful man. I felt honored to be in attendance for this very important part of his life. On Saturday, June 2, the day of his ordination, the local paper (The Register) wrote a half page article on him. While the article is not available through their website, it has been posted on another blog. I wish to share this link with you so you have some insight into what a great priest we have in our church! Please pray for him and all members of the Congregation of the Resurrection, particularly those studying here at Aquinas Institute!
