Written ‘Nods

Monsignor Steven R. Camp

After so many years of being part of this parish, I can truly say that your presence has been a gift. Your homilies have a way of reaching the heart—not just reminding us of our faith, but helping us live it more deeply in our everyday lives.  Thank you for the way you shepherd St. Patrick’s with such care, wisdom, and devotion. You have walked alongside so many parishioners through seasons of joy, uncertainty, loss, and growth, always pointing us back to Christ. Your words have encouraged me, challenged me, and helped me continue growing in my relationship with God.

There’s something incredibly encouraging about hearing a priest share that his vocation wasn’t always obvious—that even someone raised in the faith can take time to recognize where God is calling them. As a young adult who was raised Catholic, wandered for a while, and eventually found my way back, your story reminds me that God is patient. He doesn’t stop calling us just because we’ve taken a different path for a season.  Thank you, Fr. Grant, for the way you share your journey with honesty and humility. Your style is relatable, and genuine, making the faith feel like an invitation rather than an obligation. It’s a gift to see a young priest who connects with people so naturally and reminds us that God can work through every chapter of our lives. Thank you for answering His call and for helping others hear theirs.

Your dedication to reaching young people through retreats, outreach, and moments of faith formation has been a beautiful gift to the Church. By walking alongside the next generation, you help them discover the love of Christ and remind them that they have a place in His Church.  We are grateful for your courage to answer the call to the priesthood and for the “yes” you have given to serve God’s people. May your ministry continue to inspire others to seek Christ and grow in faith.
