We begin our new journey here at Holy Spirit and welcome Father George with open hearts and open minds.  Father George Roney comes to us from St. John Nuemann Parish where he has guided his flock for six years. He was born in 1952, ordained a priest in 1978 in the Diocese of Amarillo, and has served as a priest for 42 years. Father George is an old-school type individual who is service minded and looks for his flock to help. Consult with him, gain his approval and get the job done. That is how he operates. He obviously has a wealth of experience and is well versed in the history of the diocese. He has acted as the spiritual director for the Acts Retreat for the past six years. A quote from someone who knows Father George says, “He may be quite but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care”. We welcome Father George with open hearts and open minds. “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord. “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11 John Arcisz, Adult Faith Formation Director June 27, 2020 View Father George’s webpage here.
