I have been a pastor, a vocations director, a chaplain at Marymount College and a spiritual director for many souls. My greatest joy has come from being with the people in our diocese. I love the liturgy—especially the Holy Mass, but outside of that, my favorite sacrament is reconciliation. I have loved being a priest. “ ~ Fr. LeRoy Metro
