Our Mission
The Catholic church is blessed by 24,000 priests in the United States; 400,000 worldwide. The vocation is a spiritual calling unlike any other.
For love of God and Jesus Christ, these men devote their lives to the service of 70 million U.S. Catholics. They forgo marriage, children, opportunities for vibrant careers in the private sector…all to serve and bring us the very sacraments that fuel our faith.
Our agenda is transparent: Showing love (a ‘Nod, if you will) to the thousands of committed, devoted, incredible priests who tirelessly give of themselves so that we, lay Catholics, remain grounded in our faith.

Father Paul Wierichs
Father Paul has brought me closer to God. I had Father Paul in high school as a teacher where he helped me unlock my relationship with Christ. In college, Father Paul encouraged me to discern my vocation. Later in life he continues to help me with my prayer life and devotion to Christ on the cross.

Father James Brasil
He was so influential and supportive for me taking classes in Pastoral Formation . These classes have deepen my faith also within the community , family and friends. Thank You for the prayers and support.
Carol Kautz
Father Tom
Thank you, Father Tom, for the thoughtful spiritual direction when I shared an ethical issue that was confronting me in my workplace. Your attentiveness, time and availability during a time when I was confused helped bring me back to the grounding of my faith and how to live it in a challenging job environment.
