Greetings from the Vocation Directors Print E-mail

 

 

God Helped Me Listen to His Call

frtomlongI love being a priest. I thank God for helping me to listen to the call to priesthood, and for giving me the wisdom and strength to answer "Yes."

I love Sunday Mass, when God's people gather and God uses me to make the connection between Christ and his people real through the Eucharist.

I love knowing that I am doing what God calls me to do. It is incredibly satisfying to live a life of deep meaning. I thank God for that gift, which continues to deepen and grow.

I love the Diocese of Green Bay. My family has been a part of the Church here for over 160 years. As a priest, I am a part of salvation history in northeastern Wisconsin. There are great people and great parishes in our diocese.

As Vocation Directors, Fr. Quinn Mann and I would love to talk to you if you are considering responding to God's call to the priesthood.

Making a Sincere Gift of Self

fr-quinn-mann20090918"Man most fully discovers himself only through a sincere gift of himself" (Gaudium et Spes). As a Catholic priest, I have come to know this in a very real way.

Priesthood has afforded me many opportunities to make a gift of myself. It has been through this sincere gift that my life has become animated in such a way that I am compelled to share the Gospel message.

Being a priest has given me a glimpse of the human capacity to love and the victory over sin over death.

The most edifying gift of priesthood has been the celebration of the holy sacrifice of the Mass. The Holy Eucharist is the greatest gift given to the world and as a priest, you are called by God to bring Jesus Christ to the world through simple gifts of bread and wine, gifts that become the body and blood of Christ.

I challenge you to discover yourself by making a gift of yourself. Men are called by God to lay down their lives as Christ layed down His life. Priesthood is a great gift to the world and I encourage you to discover it for yourself!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Fr. Quinn Mann
Associate Vocation Director
