Pray For This Priest

Pray for this priest, Fr. Rodriguez, who was recently transferred from his parish in El Paso after uproars over his many public remarks upholding the Church's teachings, especially concerning marriage and sexuality. I don't know the circumstances surrounding his transfer, so of course I can't speculate. There are other wonderful videos on Youtube of him explaining the Faith.

In El Paso, Fr. Rodriguez heard confessions 5 times a week and was the only diocesan priest who offered the Latin Mass.

He was moved from El Paso to a small town of 9,000 souls, and I am sure they will be glad to have him. May he inspire many holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life in his new assignment!

A year ago, he defended marriage on the local news:

Philip,
I pray that this Priest was transferred to protect him. I know that some religious orders are transferring well loved Priests out of Mexico to protect them from kidknapping. Since El Paso boarders Mexico, I'm praying that he is safe until the violence and corruption in Mexico is under control.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us.
Blessings,
Janet in Texas

Philip, do you know what parish Fr was transferred too?
