​

The world offers you comfort.

You were not made for comfort.  

You were made for greatness.


Pope Benedict XVI

A Hartford Priest:

A Catholic man, in love with the Lord Jesus and His Church, with a heart that longs for adventure, to lay down his life for the people of God as a priest of the Archdiocese of Hartford.

Courageous souls, or those who would be by God's grace, should call 860.761.7456.
