Latest ‘Nods

I wanted to submit a ‘nod to Fr. Adams because he is my favorite Catholic podcaster. He hosts a podcast called “Ask a Priest” and it is such a great way for people to ask and receive answers to questions they might not feel comfortable asking in person. He has such a light and comforting way of explaining that no question is too silly.  It’s priests like Father Adams who expand their vocation beyond their own parish to reach parishioners who may need more guidance and answers but don’t know who to get it from. A ‘nod to Fr. Adams for providing that!

Father James Sullivan, or more affectionately known as “Father Jim”, is truly a priest for the people. There are countless testimonies of parishioners and non parishioners alike sharing all the ways he has gone above and beyond to provide support or help in any way he can. Whether it is counseling someone who is lost in grief, or making house calls for those in need of sacraments, Father Jim proves how devoted he is to his flock by acting as one of God’s Shepards looking after and guiding us especially when we wander.  To many of us he is more than a priest, he is a friend.

I came across Father Nathan when I was doom scrolling one night. It was a welcomed vibe change from scary political new and the ever so annoying “Jet Two Holiday!” videos.  I want to give him a ‘Nod for performing more than just his vocational duties and finding creative ways to educate and include as many people as he can reach. To some, priests can seem pretty intimidating or out of reach.  Through his social media, Father Nathan has developed an inclusive and accessible way to bring God and the Holy Spirit into our homes.  He has inspired me to find more easy ways I can incorporate my faith into my daily life. Thank you Father Nathan!
