Thank you for the way you’ve poured yourself into the work of vocations and for the steady, faithful witness you’ve given to the priesthood. Through your years of serving as Director of Vocations, teaching, preaching, and walking closely with young men discerning God’s call, you’ve helped make the possibility of saying “yes” to the priesthood feel both courageous and attainable. The way you speak about vocation—with clarity and real trust in God’s will—has encouraged so many people to listen more closely for His voice. Your commitment to strengthening parish life, supporting Catholic education, and using every avenue available to share the faith reflects the heart of a priest who takes his spiritual fatherhood seriously. Thank you for the joy, steadiness, and leadership you bring to the Church, and for the countless lives you’ve influenced simply by helping others hear and respond to God’s call.
