Silver Ordination
Today was the 25th anniversary of Father Warren Keene who is the assistant pastor at my parish. He is a great priest who spent ten years as an organic chemist before entering the seminary in the Diocese of Gibratar and later received the S.T.B., M.A., S.T.L. and J.C.D. degrees from the Pontifical University of S. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. He has served in my parish since 1992.
He is a wondeful homilist and his homilies are always soaked in the Church Fathers. His homilies are never long, but always well crafted with bits that stick with you later. I also love his reverence at Mass. His rapt attention during the consecration is a joy to watch as it is quite apparent that he is once again caught up in the mystery of the Eucharist. He also have a lovely singing voice that is very pleasing to the ear when he chants the Mass. Whether he is saying the indult Latin Mass or the new order of Mass you enter into the mystery with him. That you know you are not participating in mere ritual but something much much more. It is also a joy to watch him do Benediction on first Fridays after Eucharistic adoration.
My parish is blessed with faithful and wonderful priests and even though I often parody or write on liturgical abuses they have provided zero source material for it. I have to go to other parishes so that I can commiserate with others.
This Sunday is Priesthood Sunday so please take the time to thank the many wonderful and holy priests.

What a beautiful tribute to a good priest! It gives me hope that such as these are among us. May God send us many more. Amen.
You should make a podcast of his homilies. I would help if you asked.
Dear Jeff and Friends in Christ,
There is a certain Catholic Priest who I would all like y'all to pray for specially as well as urgently with "Priesthood Sunday" approaching this week-end.
His Name is Father Robert Altier formerly, the Assistant Pastor at Saint Agnes Church in Minneapolis.
If it was not for his awesome Homilies that used to appear till March 2006 on "DesertVoice.Org" I would have left the Catholic Church long ago.
It is only due to his "Soul Stirring" Homilies that I am in the Church today.
His Homilies have miraculously kept me going in the Catholic Church even after I had "Catastrophic and extremely Negative Experiences" in an Ultra Liberal Monastery and Friary in the Southern United States as well as on the East Coast United States some years back.
I just cannot believe why he is being harrassed and even persecuted by the "Ultra Liberal Archbishop of Minneapolis" simply for speaking the truth about Sex- Ed Programs.
It is my prayer that he will be restored to his online as well as radio ministries soon.
He is an awesome Priest.
I just cannot even begin to tell you what Father Altier has done for me through his awesome Homilies.
Have a Blessed Day
