Wyoming pastoral visit
Back to our Wyoming pastoral visit!
As our Lord said, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them" Matthew 7:20 Diocese of Holy Trinity and Great Plains has a strong presence in Wyoming because of the hard work of Bp. Kinner.
Bp. Kinner, as the Bishop of Missionary Jurisdiction of the American Indian People, has continued to care for them. So much so, the American Indians have recognized him one among them and affectionately call him 'Buffalo Jump". Seen in the picture is the Church of the Morning Star. A picture with Eagle Drum and their Drummers, Sr.Teresa who works for the Roman Catholic Mission and Bp. Kinner.
It was 150 miles trip one way to this Church of the Morning Star, in Wind River Reservation for Bp. Kinner. Though advancing in years, Bp. Kinner has continued to serve the Lord and his flock. He is also the rector of Holy Family in Casper Wyoming and assists at St. John's, Lander WY. Bp. McNeley concurs with me its Bp. Kinner's missionary zeal that has kept the church growing in Wyoming.
From the mission land he writes to tell me how in the past week, making pastoral calls, giving last rites and burrying one of the dear departed, preparting youth for confirmation, delivering bedding and clothes to the Indian people, teaching the postulants and taking communion for the home bound. All these within the last week, despite going on eighty plus years.
Holy Trinity in Sheridan WY, is under the rectorship of Fr.Crawshaw. Fr.Crawshaw is a great host and cheff, besides tending for to his flock. We are grateful to Fr.Crawshaw and his dear wife Connie and the members of Holy Trinity for the wonderful reception given to us.
We thank God for zealous shepherds like Bp. Kinner, who are with zeal for His kingdom. HCCAR has great shepherds, whose churches and faithful have been cared for all these years and we will continue to care and work for His sheep!
