Intention for Priest

[OnlySunshine]

I just found out last Sunday that our associate pastor may be forced to return to his home country because his visa has expired after 2 years of being at our parish.  He is from Pakistan - a particularly bad part - and he does not want to have to return for good.  The last time he returned for a mission, which was about a month long, we thought he was killed in an explosion because one of the parishioners found out that a Catholic Church in the same area was bombed.  The priest's name was the same, which caused us great anguish and turmoil.  We were relieved to find out it was not him and he returned unharmed.  Depending on the status of his visa, he will only have until July before he may be forced to return.  Please say some prayers that our bishop can help him out.  We will definitely miss him if he does as he may not be able to return to our parish.
