“If you fast, you’ll last.
If you pray, you’ll stay.
If you confess, you’ll be blest.
If you adore, you’ll soar.”
– Fr. Joseph Rogers, homily on January 22
Fr. David Daly and I took 20 seminarians down to DC for the annual March for Life on January 22. To be with half a million plus young people from all over the country was so inspirational and a great affirmation of our vocation to promote the dignity of every human person.
Join us next year!
