I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Father Hage for his dedication to the future of the Church. Through his leadership of the Fisherman’s Club—an initiative that reaches out to college-aged men who may be discerning a call to the priesthood—and his work as Director of Vocations, he has provided invaluable guidance, encouragement, and support to help these young men explore their faith and consider their potential calling.  What makes Father Hage’s efforts so remarkable is the way he meets each person where they are, offering wisdom, patience, and a listening heart. His commitment to nurturing the next generation of priests is a true gift to all of us, and the impact of his work reaches far beyond the individuals he directly mentors.  A ‘Nod, Father Hage, for your tireless dedication, your compassion, and your vision for the future of the Church. Your guidance is shaping lives and inspiring faith in ways that will be felt for years to come.
