Aquarians

Did you see it?

Next stop, Silver River.

Father Rob?

Ladies and Gentleman of St. Anthony's Parish,

many of you may remember the Sullivan family,

who were a part of our flock for many years.

Well, today we'd like to welcome back

Daniel Sullivan from St. Patrick's Seminary,

whom Bishop Byrnes has

graciously sent us to support Father Rob and our parish

during this challenging time.

Father?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I have a very distinct memory of the reception

after Daniel's first communion,

when water started flooding out

from under the bathroom door, right back there.

I went in to find Jacob, Christopher

and Danny, plunger in hand,

all with great, guilty looks on their faces.

I would never have guessed

that any of those rascals

would still remember the Hail Mary

by the time they were old enough to drive.

So, to me,

this is nothing short of a miracle

to have one of them return to our flock

as a fellow clergyman.

Who knows?

Maybe he'll even back to stay.

So let's give him a warm welcome.

So you excited to be back then?

Oh, thank you.

Well, to tell you the truth,

I was gonna go on a mission trip to Haiti in the spring

before my ordination.

So, I wasn't planning on...

10 degree weather?

Where's this other Sullivan boy?

Father Rob says we're lucky to have

"another Sullivan boy back."

Danny, Bart Sheraski.

One of our biggest local job creators.

Owns the river mill.

Just a little family company.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Sheraski.

Dan's brother, Chris, lives in town.

Jake is the one.

Oh, Christ.

Sorry.

Jake.

What's Jake up to?

I really have no idea.

Shouldn't he be here to welcome you?

We don't keep in touch.

Well, you've had your nose in the books though, right?

The guy's working...

Young Daniel tells me

he hasn't seen his brother, Jake, in years.

It's odd for a clergyman

to be cut out from his family, isn't it?

Well, I'm sure he's looking forward

to seeing him again very soon.

Sure, if I have time before I go back to Milwaukee.

Head back.

And you're not ordained yet, are you?

Sorry, I thought you said that...

So, Father Rob and I are hoping that once...

I think she's pitching them the dream.

You know, hometown hero comes back.

Prodigal son, all that stuff.

She's been working Sheraski for like a year.

Some big endowment.

I see.

Do you have any idea what Jake is up to nowadays?

Saw him at the bait shop a couple months ago.

Haven't seen him in church in ages

but if you find him, tell him I said hi.

He was a good student.

Both of them were.

Thank you, Mr. Marx.

Call me Tom.

The number you have dialed

has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service.

If you feel you have reached this recording in error,

please hang up.

Excuse me.

Do you know where Father Rob's room is?

Take that.

Nah.

Oh and just start with half.

Those are pretty strong.

See you later, Grandma.

She's not your grandma.

Oh, Danny.

I thought maybe you should stick to the liturgical stuff.

But if you want, I'd love to have you do more.

You could do some readings.

The Gospel.

Then maybe after a few weeks,

I'll have you do a communion service on your own.

Homily and everything.

Father, I'm flattered, thank you

but I think I'd prefer not.

What?

I'm sorry, nothing.

You'd prefer not?

I'd prefer not to get ahead of myself,

I guess.

Sorry, I got.

Sally has a list of the people you should visit.

Try to see them on Saturdays or Sundays if you can.

No problem.

Why do I get a sense you don't wanna be here?

Father,

I don't

really have people here

since my folks left town.

My friends grew up.

And Jacob?

What?

You think you can just show up here for a few weeks,

light some candles, dish out communion

and then scoot on back to Milwaukee by Easter?

Oh, Daniel.

When you commit to a life in Christ,

you surrender yourself to powers beyond your control.

Whatever God's reasons may be,

you're here now

and you must accept that.

Now let us pray.

Our Father, Who art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Oh!

Danny?

You look different.

Thanks?

Sorry, I can't believe you're still here in town.

No, neither can I.

I mean, I left for awhile but.

Put your leg up.

Look, I'm gonna finish a blowout

but if you can hang, I'll give you a ride.

Okay.

Yeah?

Okay.

So that's your dream, then?

Is to become a priest?

And then a bishop

and then the pope?

Well, I want to

help people overcome their spiritual burdens

through Christ's teachings.

That's so cool.

Thanks.

A right on Maple.

Let me do a little detour.

Where are we?

Most people in this town,

they have such a narrow view of what's possible.

They don't really go too far.

I bet you'll be bishop.

Stick with it.

This?

Right now?
