Father Coleman, huge congrats on your ordination! It’s been so inspiring to watch your journey and see how God has called you to serve. I pray for your vocation, that you’ll be guided with wisdom, patience, and joy as you shepherd our parish. Thank you for sharing your story—it’s such a gift, showing other men that following God’s call is possible and beautiful. We’re so lucky to have you, and I can’t wait to see all the ways you’ll continue to touch lives here at Good Shepherd.

I just have to say how much Father Jared J. Brogan’s podcast, Beyond The Beacon, has meant to me. Listening to him talk about faith, the sacraments, and ways to bring God into our everyday lives feels like having a caring guide walking alongside me. His words aren’t just teachings—they’re practical, gentle reminders that God can be part of even the smallest moments. I often find myself reflecting on his episodes long after I’ve listened, and it’s helped me feel more connected to my faith and to our parish community. I’m so grateful for the time and heart he pours into this work—it truly makes living a Catholic life feel inspiring and doable.
