I’d like to give a well deserved ‘Nod to Father Walsh for the thoughtful and creative ways he continues to inspire our community—especially our youth—to grow in their faith. Last year, he introduced “Lent on a Walk,” a program that brought parishioners together to reflect on their spirituality while also caring for their bodies out in God’s creation. It was such a unique way to remind us that our faith isn’t limited to the walls of the church—it can be lived and strengthened in every part of our lives, even while simply walking side by side. What makes Father Walsh’s efforts even more meaningful is how far he extends them. By recording and sharing these reflections, he ensures that the message doesn’t just stay with those who could attend in person, but reaches countless others who might need that encouragement. His dedication to creating programs and content that connect especially with young people shows how deeply he cares about the future of our Church. Thank you, Father Walsh, for your creativity, your energy, and your constant encouragement. You remind us all that there are so many ways to walk closer with God.
