Fr. M. Keith LaBove, pastor of St. Patrick Church, in Lafayette, La, and part-time chaplain at two hospitals in town. Sometimes I write, sometimes I see people, sometimes I give talks or preach, and sometimes I take pictures. I believe that the Church I serve is a pilgrim church whose fundamental identity is People of God. We are on a journey of faith, together, and lots of times we stumble but we keep on going. Much of what is spoken of as “traditional” today is mere nostalgia, which is nice but not nearly as rich and life-giving as the fullness of the tradition of the Church.
