Congratulations Father Joe on your recent ordination to the priesthood. Your on-going sacrifice to Christ’s Church is an inspiration to a anemic society in need of the vitality of the Spirit, reflected in the windows of the soul’s of humanity.

God’s love and grace be with you.

Chris

Dear Cardinal,
I have been a TFPO since Sept. 2007. I started as a cordbearer and now have moved up. My first experience with the FPO’s was a vocation talk from Fr. John Sweeney from Emmitsburg, Md. His talk to my students was so moving that we continually invited him back for more. He made our Catholic faith more understandable, made us realize how important it is, and challenged all of us to be bold in our faith.
I have just completed my first retreat with the FPO”s. It was life changing. I have become a better person (my husband’s remark). I have been more loving, forgiving, seeking to help others, more peaceful, and more involved in learning about my Catholic faith.
I was looking forward to another educational and faith filled year with the FPO”s.
So naturally, I was surprised and somewhat devastated at the “recall” of all the FPO”s back to Boston.
I’m sure there were many good reasons that I will never know and I’m sure the decision was prayfully arrived at, but they were loved by so many. I loved their courage to speak the truth, live a life of penance, be an example of a true Catholic.

nice to read Fr. Mark Barr’s article about the Priesthood.
And you will also note, Fr. Barr is special… He is from Natick – The Home of champions.
