Father Mark

He is a very funny kind hearted man and his faith has been tested yet he remains strong

By being open to people ideas and to encourage priests.

Msgr. Charles J. Parry

Msgr. Parry saved my soul. He tells us not what we want to hear, but what we NEED to hear to become saints. I am extremely thankful for his priesthood.

We can all help our priests by first being respectful and reverent toward the priesthood, and also by praying every day for the sanctity of their souls. How can God say no to prayers for holy priests? :)

Father Charles

when I was young, the family was in pieces - he helped ME to keep my own head on straight, and to focus on the good and on my soul - he gave me a reason to hope

Realize that they are HUMAN too. Love them through their weaknesses and their strengths

Padre Israel de la Parroquia Asuncion, Mostoles, Madrid

Es un sarcedote muy joven que hace una labor increible en su apostolado con los jovenes de su parroquia y transmite una fé 'vivida' y una alegria contagiosa

Es cada vez más dificil animar a los sacerdotes en una sociedad cada vez más laicizada y apartada de Dios; creo que por ese motivo es inprescindible que cuenten con nuestro respaldo ante cualquier inciativa que establezcan en sus parroquias.... y sobre todo rezar con y por ellos.

Father Greg Hamill

for saying YES to the priesthood and YES to the responsibility of taking care of a parish and a school and trying to look out for its future

by thanking them for their sacrifice and dedication and encouraging them in all their efforts. Today we stopped at a brand new parish and just said "thank you for being a priest" to a priest we'd never met -- gave him a little gift and left. He seemed touched, maybe ideas like that are good!

My brother

He has opened my eyes, my heart and my mind to the Lord by the many ways he expresses living a life of sharing God's love ever so generously.

Pray for them. Seek them out in friendship, offer to assist them in their ministry, support them as brothers in the family of Jesus Christ. Affirm them in their vocation.

Nos motiva a seguir a Jesús con razones y ejemplo y su frase preferida es: Es mejor amar que tener razon

Orar por ellos y que vean en ti que lo que siembran da fruto y que uno esta dispuesto a ayudarlos en su mision

Fr. Terrence Brennan (Fr. Terry)

Fr. Terry is a tireless servant to his people. He, as pastor, and Fr. Denis Kaagwa, Assistant Pastor, minister to a parish of 1400 families AND three Tewa Mission Churches of Santa Clara Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo, and Tesuque Pueblo. He is constantly in search of ways to increase our active participation in Mass and ministries.

Fr. Terry relies on his parishioners and lay ministers to help accomplish tasks and projects and often places total trust in the people who have accepted tasks on his behalf. Every now and then, someone finds they are overwhelmed and do not follow through on their duties without letting Father know that additional help is needed. We (ALL) could help by acknowledging our limitations and asking for the additional help from our fellow parishioners. Father would never fault anyone for this. It is gut wrenching to see him accept responsibility for something that went wrong because it was assigned to someone who didn't admit they needed more help.
