Encouragement key for new priests
We rejoice in the ordination of three new priests for the Diocese of Madison: Frs. Jared Holzhuter, Andrew Showers, and Luke Syse.
While we thank God for the gift of their priesthood, some of us can also take a little credit for their ordination.
Importance of encouragement
Why is that? According to the annual survey of this year’s ordination class, 82 percent of the men ordained to the priesthood were encouraged by four people in their lives, including parish priests, friends, or other parishioners.
