Through your homilies, writings, and years of ministry, you have shared the richness of the Catholic faith and helped others see the beauty found in truth and tradition. Your dedication to your vocation offers a powerful example for young men discerning the priesthood, showing them the joy and responsibility of becoming a shepherd after Christ’s own heart. May your continued service inspire many more to answer God’s call with courage and devotion.
