Thank you for the way you’ve used your priesthood to meet people right where they are, especially young people who are still trying to make sense of faith, identity, and where God fits into their lives. The retreats and youth conferences you’ve been part of carry a weight that isn’t always easy to measure, but it’s felt in the quiet moments when someone actually encounters Christ in a new way. Your work through media, whether it’s teaching on the Holy Spirit or speaking about conversion and healing, extends that same invitation beyond the room—into homes, phones, and places where someone might be searching but not sure what they’re looking for. Thank you for showing that priesthood isn’t only lived at the altar, but also in the willingness to go out, speak plainly, and help people believe that faith is still alive and reachable. Priests like you make that harder work of reaching souls feel possible, and that matters more than it probably gets said out loud.

Peter
