Listen "The Life of a Pastor Pt2"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Part II of my conversation with Fr. Ryan Brady, a priest and dear friend from Chicago, who talks with great beauty and profound love about his priesthood and where life has taken him since his May 2021 ordination.
We spoke recently when he was in Rome on a Jubilee Year visit with the Chicago Chapter of the PAVM, Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums. We talk about that visit, about his ordination, the first parish where he worked and how he ended up as pastor of the church where he grew up, St. Christina in Chicago! The Lord has placed Fr. Ryan on a path that includes fascinating twists and turns – as you will hear this week! – the gifts and people and responsibilities that the Lord has placed on his path.
Last week he told us how he helped find a parish for Arabic-speaking Latin Rite Catholics in one of the first churches where he served in Chicago. I open this week’s conversation reprising some of his words last weekend about this marvelous group!
