Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (Mark 10:17)
Do you feel God is calling you to the Priesthood or Religious Life as a Brother or Sister? or perhaps as a permanent Deacon?
Deacons and Priests receive the sacrament of Holy Orders from a Bishop, while religious Brothers and Sisters make vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience to their religious superiors. These callings from God, or vocations, are a deepening of the Christian life we began to live at our Baptism. They are particular ways of serving the Church in a permanent way.
Fr. John was ordained on August 4, 2012. He is a die-hard Yankees fan even though he grew up in Michigan. He is the oldest out of five children. Fr. John professed final vows with the Oblates of the Virgin Mary in 2012. St. Mary's Parish is his first assignment.
