Parting Words from Fr. Shibi
There is an old proverb: “Man plans, God laughs.” I have found this to be true.
In 2014, my religious order asked me to come to the United States. I received my visa on March 4, 2014 and was invited by the Diocese of Rockville Centre to work in a parish.

The diocese said I would have to wait for such a position. After eight months, a hospital chaplaincy position opened up. I arrived in the U.S. and shortly thereafter I was told there was an emergency need for an associate pastor at a parish in Smithtown. This was not what I had expected and I was somewhat disappointed. God had other plans for me.
