Friends, today I celebrate my 40th anniversary as a priest. These past decades—almost two-thirds of my life—have been joyful indeed, and I have never once regretted my decision to become a priest. The priesthood has taken me all over the world and deep into the hearts of people I’ve been privileged to serve. Thank you for your prayers and support over these many years. Please continue to pray for me and all priests, and know of my continued prayers for you.
