Written ‘Nods

Fr. Drew Hoffman

A ‘Nod to Fr Drew for the incredible work you’re doing to guide young men who are discerning the priesthood. Through your podcast and the honest, relatable conversations you share, you’re creating a space where young men can ask questions, explore their vocation, and feel encouraged as they try to figure out where God is calling them. That work matters more than you probably realize. Helping someone recognize a calling to the priesthood can change not only his life, but the lives of countless people he may one day serve. Thank you for giving your time, your wisdom, and your own experience so generously, and for helping the next generation of priests hear God’s call a little more clearly. We’re so grateful for you, Fr. Drew.

Fr. Nick Nappier

Thank you, Fr. Nick, for the way you show up for your students and make the Catholic faith feel so welcoming, real, and accessible. Having a priest who is so involved in campus life and willing to meet young people where they are is such a gift. You have a way of being relatable without ever watering down the faith, and that kind of presence can make a lasting difference in a young person’s life. Thank you for giving your time, your energy, and your priesthood so generously, and for reminding your students that the Church isn’t just something they go to—it’s a family they belong to. That deserves a big Nod to the Collar!

Fr. Paul Wierichs

I was blessed to have Fr. Paul as my high school chaplain and religion teacher. I am proud and grateful for his service as the NYC FBI Chaplain on 9/11. It took a true Passionist to absorb the sorrow of that day and provide healing.
