Written ‘Nods
Fr. Zach Weber
A ‘Nod to you for the way you have poured your heart into the students you’ve been called to serve. College can be a time of uncertainty, distractions, and big questions, yet you’ve created a place where faith feels real, welcoming, and worth pursuing. Through your preaching, your encouragement, and simply being present, you’ve reminded so many of us that God hasn’t stopped calling our names. Thank you for believing in us, challenging us to become saints, and walking alongside us with joy and authenticity. The impact you’ve made reaches far beyond the walls of the Newman Center, and I know countless lives—including mine—are better because of your faithful “yes” to the priesthood. May God continue to bless your ministry and all the students whose lives you’ll continue to shape for years to come.

Thank you for saying “yes” to God’s call and for so generously sharing your journey with others. Your willingness to speak honestly about your own path to the priesthood is a gift, especially to young men who may be quietly discerning where the Lord is leading them. Stories like yours remind us that vocations often unfold through grace, perseverance, and an open heart. As you begin your priesthood, know that your witness is already bearing fruit, and many are grateful for the hope and encouragement you offer. I look forward to seeing how God continues to shape your ministry in the years ahead. May He bless every soul you shepherd, and may your faithful “yes” inspire countless others to answer His call.
Fr. George Rutler
Your priesthood has been a wonderful example of how knowledge, faith, and a love for the Church can come together in service of others. 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.
