Islamic daughters influence father's journey to priesthood

[_Abyssinia]

Like most seminarians, the Rev. Dennis Saran could tick off the many influences that bolstered and shaped him in his yearslong path to the priesthood.

There was his Catholic upbringing, of course. His teacher-priests and fellow seminarians. Long-dead theologians whose writings and ruminations have spoken to him through the ages.

But Saran includes among them three influences few seminarians can claim: his adult daughters, two of whom have charted a notably different path.

Interesting story, thanks. I liked the comment about being surprised at how close to God you can be when you put the ego to one side. I wish them all good luck.
