A ‘Nod to you for all the incredible work you do in the vocation. Your presence online, your active involvement in family nights at the parish, and the way you share your call to the priesthood are truly inspiring. Hearing you speak about your desire to save souls reminds all of us why the priesthood is such a powerful vocation, and it creates a path for young men discerning whether God might be calling them.  As someone who has been part of this Church my whole life, it’s such a joy to see priests like you doing so much more than just say Mass and hear confessions. Your energy, dedication, and openness make the Church feel alive and welcoming in ways that touch the whole community.  Thank you for living your vocation so fully and inspiring all of us along the way.
