We pray that the Lord will grant Fr. Egan wisdom, love, and peace as he begins his new service at the Blessed Virgin Mary of Czestochowa Parish in Latham, NY

The work of the priesthood is done on earth, but it is ranked among heavenly ordinances. And this is only right, for no man, no angel, no archangel, no other created power, but the Paraclete Himself ordained this succession, and persuaded men, while still remaining in the flesh to represent the ministry of angels. — St. John Chrysostom, On the Priesthood.
