Just over seven months after Holy Spirit Parish in McAllen, Texas, was thrown into turmoil when a new pastor fired four parish workers on his first day and subsequently resigned within a week, parishioners welcomed a permanently assigned priest to their community.
Fr. Louis L. Brum arrived at Holy Spirit Jan. 22. After his first weekend of Masses, parishioners reported that Brum, who had previously served as pastor of Resurrection Parish in Alamo, made a good first impression.
