My husband and I want to congratulate Father Patrick Winslow on his new appointment as vicar general and chancellor of the Diocese of Charlotte.
We were parishioners of his when he was pastor at St. John the Baptist Church in Tryon, and think the world of him. ( I still carry a copy of the beautifully written letter that he wrote to the Tryon newspaper as a rebuttal to a misconception printed in that paper of Catholics and their relationship with the Bible.) He was always able to break down complex ideas and bring them to a level that even I could grasp.
The fact that Bishop Peter Jugis chose Father Winslow proves that he is as wise as we always knew him to be.
Archie W. “Bill” Seif and Margaret “Margi” Mackowski-Seif are residents of Tryon.
