The annual RCIA Mass this morning in the Chapel of the Holy Cross. A total of 18 Jesuit students will be receiving Catholic sacraments! #AMDG Jesuits USA Central and Southern

It's always difficult to describe the complete exhaustion mingled with sheer joy at the end of every school year. With over 20 retreats behind us, 18 more student converts to the Catholic faith, and over 100 heading to Europe on pilgrimage next week week, the mission never ends!

From climbing mountains in Switzerland to spelunking in Austria, this year's pilgrimage was full of adventure and beauty like never before. On top of that, we prayed at the tombs of 20+ saints, martyrs, and apostles across 4 countries.

We also had the pure grace of venerating the second largest relic of the true cross in the world at the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz outside Vienna. To say the least, our 2024 Eucharistic Pilgrimage was one for the books. AMDG!

The stuff memories are made of. Massive thanks to the beautiful people of Jasper, Indiana who feel more like family after every visit. 7 years later and we're still rockin' it!

Two things you don't expect to see in one day... the world's largest thurible and a famous boys choirs from France. I'll be posting more reflections from the Camino soon. St. James the Greater, pray for us!

Jesuit president Fr. Richard C. Hermes, S.J. celebrated the first all-school Mass of the school year today in the Chapel of the Holy Cross, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. #AMDG

Between the final stretch of the Camino and ten days of apostolic adventuring through England, the summer came to a mighty and beautiful close. If I had to sum it up with a single Scripture verse, it would be this...

"[The Lord] said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" (2 Cor. 12:9). More to come soon on the start of the new school year! Jesuit Tampa

The summer began with many profound CONSOLATIONS but segwayed into a time of unexpected PURGATION. When I returned to Tampa in August, the first several weeks of school were intense but marked by joyful RESTORATION. September so far? I can only describe it as a time of PROVISION.

Years of prayer are culminating into a conspiracy of grace that I cannot wait to share more about soon. In spite of my own fickleness and unworthiness, God is faithful. Soli Deo gloria!

At Jesuit HS in Tampa and I’m blow away. This may be the most passionately Catholic all boys Catholic High School in America. The art, the liturgy, the academics, the athletics - the entire culture is focused on Christ as King. 25 students are currently discerning a call to

Christ is risen, alleluia! With the Holy Father's passing on Monday, it's a wild week to be rejoicing in the Resurrection. In fact, it's been a wild Jubilee Year all around, as you can see from some of these photos taken all over the world.

Massive thanks to everyone who's been praying for me and these other lads in discernment this year. Big announcement coming soon! 🔥

The big announcement is here! More details coming soon. youtube.com/watch?v=ubMPYt…

Between pilgrimages, graduations, and goodbyes, the past month has been full of grace, glory, and quite a bit of emotion. The last five years have been the happiest of my life, which makes leaving Tampa Jesuit one of the toughest decisions I've ever made.

Massive thanks to everyone who made these years in Tampa so special. As I return to Nashville as a seminarian next month (more details forthcoming), let us pray for one another and continue to storm heaven together. The best is yet to come!

youtu.be/ccbhhV55pqY THE FULL STORY behind my return to seminary is a true conspiracy of grace. God be praised for it all. I begin a weeklong silent retreat tomorrow. Pray for me and let me know how I can be praying for you. Ad salutem animarum!

Aura farming for the glory of God. First week as ADL seminarians is underway! NashVocations #apostlesofdivinelove

Happy Feast of St. Augustine! So much has happened since I gave this convocation a year ago. I’m certainly missing all my Jesuit Tampa brothers but could not be more grateful to be united every day in the Mass. youtube.com/watch?v=2OQvIF… #jesus #catholic #faith #augustine #AMDG
