Congrats 2 Fr. Mike Duggan!

HABEMUS SUPERIORUM REGIONIS (or something like that). Fr. Mike Duggan has been elected U.S. Regional Superior. Having run out of candidates for the top position, our attention now turns to Miss Congeniality...no, wait...wrong contest.

According to the official announcement from Super G and US Regional pro-temp Fr. Ed Dougherty, 58 out of 69 ballots were returned. Mike got 38 and Fr. Bob Jalbert 20. Curiously, the announcement states Mike's election is effective Oct. 1, 2009. Nothing like beginning three weeks behind schedule or, worse, having to account for things that happened whilst the region was in limbo. (But since B-16 abolished Limbo, we'll just have to make do with Hoboken. But I digress.)

No word yet on how or if we will select the First Assistant, since technically we could go right to the Second Ass. if the Council excercises its prerogative and appoints Br. Wayne as F.A.
