I want to sincerely thank you for your incredible dedication to service, both as a priest and as a professional using your talents to help those in need. Your work with Catholic Charities and Catholic Migration Services has touched countless lives—families, immigrants, seniors, and the most vulnerable in our community have felt the impact of your care, guidance, and leadership. It’s inspiring to see how you combine your deep faith with your legal expertise, advocating for justice and ensuring that the Church’s mission is carried out with integrity and compassion. You remind all of us that serving God can take many forms—not just in the pulpit, but also in the offices, courts, and communities where lives are changed. Thank you for your tireless efforts, your vision, and your unwavering commitment to living your vocation fully; priests like you truly embody the best of faith in action.
