Thirty years ago today, through a grace I could never deserve, Jesus Christ called me to share in His Holy Priesthood. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful.
These 30 years have been filled with countless blessings — celebrating the Holy Mass, preaching the Gospel, baptizing children, witnessing marriages, anointing the sick, hearing confessions, and walking with God’s people through moments of joy and sorrow. What a privilege it has been to serve the Lord and His Church.
Nineteen of these years have been here at Saint Mary’s, and for that I thank God every day. You are not simply parishioners to me — you are family. Your love, prayers, encouragement, and faith have strengthened me more than you know.
Today my heart is filled with gratitude: gratitude to Jesus, to Our Blessed Mother, to my family, brother priests, and to all who have supported and prayed for me throughout these years.
Please continue to pray for me, that I may remain faithful, joyful, and surrendered to the will of God. And know of my prayers for all of you each day at the altar.
“Jesus Christ is Lord!”
Thank you, Jesus, for 30 years of Priesthood.
