Consider this...New Priests: youtu.be/Vh40JLAKz_s

A joyful Saturday: God will give us 4 fine new priests as I am privileged, honored and humbled to ordain four deacons as priests for service in our diocese. At a difficult time for us all, a divine ray of light and reason for hope for a renewed church! Deo gratias!

Blessings & prayers for all fathers, living and deceased. And a shout-out, too, to the faithful Fathers, our good priests, who serve God and all of us every day. (Please remember that priests who have violated their sacred commitment are a tragic deviation, not the rule.).

On this feast of St. Ignatius Loyola, how grateful we are for the Jesuits serving our diocese at Canisius College and HS, and St. Michael’s Parish! Ad majorem Dei Gloriam!

On this memorial of St. John Vianney, recall his wise words: "This is the glorious duty of man: to pray and to love. If you pray and love, that is where a man's happiness lies." Why seek that happiness in places where it'll never be found?

May this Advent season freshen hope in our hearts as prayerfully we walk with Jesus out of darkness and into light. Join me in prayer for abuse victims and for the renewal and purification of our church. Come, Lord Jesus!

Had a prayerful Day of Recollection for our entire Catholic Center staff at Christ the King Seminary today. Fr. Joe Gatto, Rector, was our presenter. He gave superb and inspiring talks. A great day!
