Our parish has been blessed with a second priest, Fr. Harkins. His presence has inspired my two youngest sons to pretend to be priests and “offer” Mass. They’ve been dressing up, cutting “hosts” from printer paper, ringing their little bell, and using their child-size thurible. The other day, Finnian came to me and said, “Mommy, I am Fr. Saguto and Patrick is Fr. Harkins.” I smiled and thought to myself, “Imitation is truly the best form of flattery. I pray that if God calls you to be a priest, you answer His call and become a holy and faithful  priest.” We are very thankful that our boys have such great role models at our parish.

O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us; obtain for us many holy priests.
