Written ‘Nods
Fr. Pius Pietrzyk
When you think of priests, you usually think of the church—but they serve in so many other places as well. For example, Father Pius Pietrzyk works in a government role as a board member of the Legal Services Corporation. As a priest on Capitol Hill, he helps people navigating custody battles, housing issues, and domestic violence disputes gain access to legal representation. There are many professions that could benefit from the guidance of priests, and I want to give a special nod to Father Pius for highlighting that. Thank you for all you do for the poor, for making sure no one falls through the cracks, and for showing that everyone is worthy of help and God’s love. We need more priests like Father Pius.

Fr. Sean Yates
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.

Fr. Matthew Schneider
A group that is too often overlooked in the Church is the disabled. Beyond city-mandated ramps and accessible bathrooms, there are still few ways that neurodivergent people are truly included. Father Matthew has been essential in changing that. As someone who lives with my own disorder, I want to thank Father Matthew for his courage in speaking openly about his challenges as an autistic priest. His honesty and advocacy have given so many hope and a sense of belonging. Thank you, Father Matthew, for your efforts to bridge the gap between neurodivergent individuals and the ministry, and for your programs that work to bring sensory-friendly Masses to parishes across the country.
