Written ‘Nods
Fr. Kevin Menard
Your journey to the priesthood is such a powerful witness to what can happen when someone truly listens to God’s call. The honesty with which you’ve shared your path — from living an ordinary young adult life, to discerning something deeper was missing, to ultimately giving your life fully to Christ — is incredibly meaningful, especially for other young men trying to navigate their own vocation. In a world that constantly pulls people in every direction, your “yes” stands as a reminder that holiness is still possible, joyful, and worth pursuing. Thank you for embracing your vocation with humility and courage, and for showing others that discernment is not about having all the answers immediately, but about being willing to follow where God leads. Your example will undoubtedly inspire many others to listen more closely to that same call in their own lives.
Fr. Michael T Casey
I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done through campus ministry. College can honestly feel overwhelming and isolating sometimes, and having a priest who actually shows up, listens, and cares about students the way you do makes a huge difference. You’ve created a place where people can ask questions, grow in their faith, and feel like they belong without being judged. Your guidance, your patience, and even just the way you talk to people have helped a lot more students than you probably realize. Thank you for giving your life to this vocation and for being someone students can genuinely look up to.
Fr. Jonathan Raia
Thank you for your faithful “yes” to the priesthood and for the way you pour yourself into the lives of others through your ministry. Your involvement in retreats, spiritual guidance, and marriage preparation has genuinely touched so many people. The care, wisdom, and sincerity you bring to those moments make people feel seen, encouraged, and closer to God. In a world that can feel so rushed and disconnected, your presence and dedication remind us what authentic pastoral care looks like. Thank you for walking with people through some of the most important moments of their lives and for living your vocation with such humility and heart
