I like what he says at the end to the anchorwoman that was teasing him that all the women were going to flock to his congregation.šŸ‘
 
I think the young preist we are getting are a throw back to the older ones before Vatican IIā€¦They seem very committed and traditional

I feel that we might not be getting quantity yet, but we are getting quality, and that is more important
 
So it seems heā€™s leaving pro soccer for the ā€œbig leaguesā€ (priesthood)! Thank God Heā€™s calling up good men to the priesthood in our day!

You may also be interested in listening to the conversion story of Fr. Donald Calloway, who was a big time atheist druggie, who converted almost overnight and went on to become a priest. His story is VERY inspiring for parents who think thereā€™s no hope for their wayward children. You can access his story (in .MP3 audio format) at:

His is the first one in the list.

You may also be interested in hearing Fr. John Corapiā€™s conversion story at the following link:

His is the last one in the list.
 
Please keep him and all seminarians in prayer. We need good, strong orthodox priests who follow the Magisterium.
 
Amen. We had a seminarian at our parish who loved playing soccer with the kids. Growing up in Tanzania, he played soccer barefooted. He created quite an impression with the youngsters. Now that he is a priest, he is doing the same with the young people in his new parish that he serves. More reasons to pray for all our seminarians. God is calling, let us pray they will respond in a positive way.
