I’ve always wondered how, when, and why priests decide to dedicate their lives to the priesthood, and I find their stories fascinating. Father Yates openly shares his difficult journey that ultimately led him to become a priest. He speaks candidly about hitting “rock bottom,” inspiring others who may feel lost or beyond reach, showing that there is always a way back to God’s light. Thank you for paving the way for young men and women struggling in their faith, and for showing that no member of the flock is ever truly lost.
