Fr. Mike,
It is so important to the Hispanic communities to have the Mass in Spanish, and to have Spanish-speaking priests. It brings awarness for Spanish people to encouraging priestly vocation in their own communities. Thank you for the behind the collar discussion!

Thanks to Sean and Kevin for taking this footage, and the folks at Neathawk and Dubuque for putting it together. What a flood of amazing, beautiful memories. It's a tremendous privilege to be able to serve God and His people as a deacon.

Deepest thanks to everybody who attended or participated, and especially all those who have prayed for and encouraged me along the way. It takes many people to help a young man hear God calling him to service in His priesthood.
