Prayer of Thanksgiving for Priests

Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for the gift of priests in Your Church. We are grateful for their dedication, their guidance, and their selfless service to Your people. Bless them with strength, courage, and joy in their ministry. May they always be filled with Your love and wisdom, and may their hearts be sustained in moments of challenge. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
‘Nod to the Collar Staff

Fr. Benjamin Lehnertz

Thank you for everything you do — seriously, you put your whole heart into every ministry you touch. The way you’ve supported the marriage programs, the adult formation stuff, and all the different groups who come to you looking for guidance…it really shows how much you care about helping people grow, not just checking boxes. You’ve got this way of making everyone feel seen — couples trying to build something stronger, people trying to come back to the Church, young adults figuring life out. And yeah, we all love the baseball thing too — it’s just so you, bringing that same energy and team spirit into the parish. We’re lucky to have a priest who shows up for people the way you do.

Monsignor Jim Lisante

This Thanksgiving, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Monsignor Jim Lisante, along with Leslie Gretschel, for leading such an amazing food drive this year. Their dedication to helping so many families in need truly captures the spirit of the holiday season — a time to give, share, and care for one another. Monsignor Lisante sets an incredible example for other parishes, showing how leadership, generosity, and heart can make a real difference in people’s lives. Initiatives like this remind all of us what Thanksgiving is really about: coming together as a community to support those who need it most. We’re so grateful for his vision, compassion, and unwavering commitment to serving others.
