A ‘Nod to you Father for being so open in sharing your journey to the priesthood and for the many ways you served the Church long before your ordination. Your years of work in ministry and parish life clearly shaped you, and it’s evident how that experience has made you a more grounded, compassionate priest. It’s meaningful to hear how God’s call can unfold in different ways and on different timelines, and that it isn’t always clear from the very beginning. Your willingness to follow that call step by step — even as it grew and took shape over time — is powerful, especially for those discerning their own paths. Stories like yours remind us that there are many ways God reaches people, and that faithful listening and perseverance truly matter.
